Description
The Former Hot Shots Snooker Club is a billiard hall built in 1906, with some alterations. It features painted roughcast on brick and an internal timber frame, topped with tiled roofs. The building has a rectangular plan positioned at right angles to the street and showcases an eclectic architectural style that combines Edwardian Baroque and Art Nouveau elements.
The entrance front is two storeys high, leading to a single-storey hall. It has a wide central bay flanked by narrower side bays, with a segmental modillioned cornice above the centre. This is flanked by square turrets that feature pilasters adorned with Art Nouveau ornamentation and topped with swept pyramidal roofs. The ground floor includes a wide segmental bowed window in the centre (now blanked off), a round-headed doorway to the left with pilasters and a semi-circular hood, and a slightly bowed window to the right (also blanked off). A prominent bracketed cornice runs over the entire front. On the first floor, there is a blocked Venetian style window in the centre and ornamental lancets in the turrets, complete with keystones and swept pediments.
Inside, the building retains laminated timber elliptical-arched frames, original side benches, radiators, cue-racks, and other features in the Art Nouveau style. This building is an unusual survival of its type and date.
