The Angel Public House

The Angel Public House is a house, dating from the mid-18th century, and now used as a public house. It is located in Durham and Framwellgate Crossgate. The exterior is incised stucco with pilaster strips and a moulded plinth, topped by a roof of French tiles with brick chimneys. The building is three storeys high and originally three bays wide, although a shop has been inserted into the left bay. The third bay contains a doorway leading to Lumsden’s yard, set within a wide, keyed architrave. The right-hand door has a half-glazed door within a Tuscan doorcase, featuring a prominent cornice and a raised, pediment-shaped panel. The ground floor has paired sash windows, while all bays on the first floor have single sashes. Small, late 19th-century sash windows are located on the second floor, each set on bracketed sills within keyed architraves. There are two ridge chimneys. Inside, a dog-leg staircase features a wavy rail in place of balusters on the upper flights.
