Number 54 And Chop House Public House Thomas'S Chop House

The building is a bar and restaurant, dating to 1901, with later 20th-century additions. It is constructed from red brick and buff terracotta, with a slate roof; the rear is terracotta only. Designed in an elaborate free Jacobean style, the building runs at a right angle to the street and incorporates No. 3 St Ann's Churchyard.

The facade is a single bay and three storeys high, with an attic. The ground floor features a chamfered corner containing a doorway, and another doorway flanked by a window. Red polished granite pilasters frame these openings, supporting an elaborate glazed terracotta mezzanine with moulded corbels. The upper floors incorporate a central two-storey segmental oriel rising from the corbel, featuring six-light transomed windows to both floors, and a foliated panel between them, flanked by banded terracotta strips and a prominent cornice. The attic has a pierced foliated parapet over the oriel, a cross window, and a steeply pitched gable with corner pinnacles, a richly foliated cartouche dated 1901 over the windows, and a small broken pediment at its apex. The return side features the same style for the first two bays, followed by a simpler elevation with square-headed transomed windows, mostly three-light. The rear facade, facing No. 3 St Ann’s Churchyard, is a narrow convex frontage of buff terracotta above a brown faience base course, displaying Renaissance-style lettering reading 'THOMAS'S CHOP HOUSE', and a panel on the first floor with putti and the inscription 'A.1901.D'.

The interior consists of a small porch leading to a bar area. This is followed by extensive wall tiling, with a light green dado in the room furthest from the street, cream tiling extending to the ceiling. Two back rooms each have two arches in the right-hand wall, lined with green tiling and featuring alternating raised voussoirs and attenuated key-blocks. A late 20th-century bar counter and back are present. No. 3 was added to the list on 4/11/76. It is a rich example of turn-of-the-century free style architecture with extensive internal tiling.
