Lamb Hotel

The Lamb Hotel is a public house dated 1906, designed by Mr. Newton of Hartley, Hacking & Co. for Holt's Brewery. It features a red brick exterior with red terracotta and red sandstone dressings, topped with a slate roof and red ridge tiles, and includes a cupola with a lead-clad domed roof. The building has a trapezoid plan on a corner site and exhibits an eclectic architectural style.

It stands two storeys tall with five windows, showcasing a moulded terracotta cornice and a parapet with shaped gables linked by balustrades. A tall channelled chimney is located in the fourth bay. The central bay features an entrance flanked by terracotta pilasters and topped with a segmental cornice on coupled consoles. Above the entrance is a narrow oriel window with a domed cap and a broken pediment, which is situated above an upstand containing a plaque with a lamb and rises to a segmental pediment displaying the date '1906'. The ground floor has narrow sash windows, with the lower panes being cut and etched, and the windows at the ground floor include 4-pane top lights.

To the right, there is a splayed corner with a blocked entrance to a vault, and the right return has a blocked entrance to a former outdoor department.

Inside, the hotel has a little altered plan and fittings. The entrance lobby leads to a door on the right that accesses the vault, while ahead is a mahogany carved screen with panels and overlights, along with a door featuring cut and etched glazing inscribed with the words 'Lamb Hotel'. The hall is adorned with a dado of Art Nouveau glazed light and dark green tiles with red roses, which continues up the stairwell. The mahogany stair is designed in a heavy Jacobean style and includes a curved bar with brilliant-cut glazed hatches and overlights.

Entrances to the various rooms are framed by elaborate Jacobean style surrounds, and the doors feature cut and etched glass with labels such as 'Bar Parlour' and 'Billiard Room'. The rooms are equipped with fixed upholstered seating, bell pushes, lobby screens, and Jacobean style chimneypieces. In the billiard room, seating is arranged on raised platforms around the space. The vault contains fixed seating with matchboard backs and has been altered to incorporate the outdoor department. Overall, the Lamb Hotel is an elaborate and nearly intact example of an early 20th-century gin palace.
