The Victoria Public House

The Victoria Public House is a public house built in 1899 by Joseph Oswald. It features red brick construction rising from a buff sandstone plinth, with sandstone dressings and a Welsh slated roof covered with red clay ridge tiles. The building is located on an acutely-angled street corner and includes a public bar at the angle, with two additional public rooms behind it, and a screened-off 'Family Department' or off-licence at the rear.

The exterior is two storeys high, with two three-light mullioned windows on the ground floor. To the right, there is an entrance adorned with an illustrated panel depicting Queen Victoria's head, dated 1899. Above this entrance is a single-light transomed window, with two single-light sash windows to its left. A dormer window features a two-over-two pane sash window. At the building's acute angle, there is a doorway with a double panelled door and a rectangular overlight. The first floor has a single-light sash window, and there are one and two-light windows on the return, all with slightly raised surrounds.

Inside, there is an internal porch at the angle of the two streets, featuring a mosaic floor. The public bar has a curved bar counter that follows the room's shape, with a matchboarded front. The bar-back is tiered with wide segmental arches at the top, and there is fixed seating along with a matchboarded dado. The lower parts of the windows have movable panes with etched glass. An ornate black painted wooden fire surround contains embossed blue tiles at the bottom and a circular mirror above. The 'Family Department' is accessed from a side passage and is indicated by etched and polished glass in the doorway. It is formed by a panelled screen projecting into the public bar, with etched and cut glass above and a hatch to the servery. The Front Sitting Room features a small panelled counter, a matchboarded dado, and a fireplace similar to that in the public bar. The Rear Sitting Room has a matchboarded dado, a mottled marble fire surround, a sliding door to the servery, and bell pushes.
