The King'S Arms Public House

The King's Arms Public House is a public house built around 1880. It is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and features a wooden bar front, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and is arranged with two sets of three windows. The gabled front faces Beach Street and includes central and end doors, with the right door located on a canted corner to Farringdon Row. The end doors are two-leaved and have six panels, while the central doors have four panels and a plain overlight. These doors are flanked by long panels featuring paired corbelled Gothic shafts with clasping rings and foliage capitals, which support long entablature brackets topped with prominent ball finials.

The glazed bar fronts between the doors have panelled stall risers; the left side has additional panelling below the window, while the right side has lower panelling behind the window. Each window is fitted with wooden mullions. The first floor features painted wedge stone lintels and projecting stone sills above four-pane sash windows. In the gable peak, there is a blind round-headed panel with a projecting stone sill. An incised sandstone plaque on the right displays the name ANNE STREET in Roman capitals, while BEACH STREET is indicated in sans serif letters on a painted plaque above. A painted wood board between the windows displays the name The Kings Arms in applied moulded letters.

The right return of the building has a similar design, with a door located under the third window, intermediate paired shafts, and entablature brackets. The name THE KINGS ARMS is applied directly in moulded letters. The fascia at the front has the names Beach Street and Anne Street painted, with Hanover Place and Farringdon Row painted on the right return. The former Anne Street has been blocked, and a new road has been laid out, altering the relationship with the two streets on the right.
