Appraisal
This attractive public house has retained a fine pub-front with some interesting original features such as decorative stained-glass panels and the marble plinth. The pub front creates an interesting decorative contrast with the simplicity of the rest of the building which is enhanced by the retention of varied timber sliding sash windows.
