Queen of Hearts Public House

The Queen of Hearts Public House, originally a school for the Church of the Holy Innocents, was built between 1870 and 1872 by architects Price and Linklater. The building features coursed yellow sandstone rubble with red sandstone dressings and a steeply-pitched slate roof. It has a rectangular plan oriented east-west with a north-east wing, designed in a Gothic style.

The structure includes a high single-storey hall with five bays and lower gabled wings at both ends. The buttressed hall has low eaves and tall transomed windows that extend into gabled half-dormers, while the gables of the wings are adorned with coupled cross-windows. The east front of the east wing, facing Wilmslow Road, features a gabled porch with a two-centred arched doorway that is moulded in four orders, along with a small two-light window above it, flanked by octagonal pilasters. To the right, there is a three-bay set-back wing with mullioned windows containing four, two, three, three, and three trefoil-headed lights. The interior has been altered. The building forms a group with the Church of the Holy Innocents and St James, sharing similar style and materials.
