Has an excellent Woodham’s Brewery of Rochester frontage (they were taken over by Styles & Winch in 1918). Bare boarded bar with 1930s sloping to you panelled counter. Panelled walls to picture frame height. Bar back looks 1930s with plain mirrors in upper part, columns holding up shelving and lower shelving intact - rare!
Good ‘Public Bar’ etched and frosted exterior windows. Knocked through to small left area in around 1990 so panelling, brick fireplace and fixed seating here is modern. It was living quarters until 1990. Through doorway on the right is a bar with modern fittings – two different levels, carpet. Window at rear has a ‘Jug & Bottle’ etched panel. Wooden floor nearby indicates off sales and public bar amalagamated in recent years
