Description
Numbers 52 and 54, known as the Clock Face Public House, is a house and public house built in the early 19th century, with facing added around 1830. The building is constructed of brick with stone dressings and a slate roof. The main facade of No. 54 is set at a right angle to the street and features two storeys with five irregular bays. It has a first-floor sill band, a top cornice, and a parapet adorned with wreaths, along with a panel that has flanking acroteria at the entrance bay. The ends of the building are highlighted by panelled pilasters.
On the ground floor, there is a canted bay window in the first bay, while the other two bays have segmental-headed windows with tripartite sashes. The first-floor windows are framed with architraves, and the window above the entrance bay includes a frieze and a consoled cornice. All windows are sashed and feature glazing bars. The entrance in the second bay has a glazed doorcase with a complete overlight and a four-fielded-panel door, sheltered by a distyle-in-antis Ionic porch. The building has four chimney stacks.
To the right, a stone-coped brick wall includes a gate and stone gatepiers with incised lines and pediments. The right return to the street has five bays, with the first two belonging to No. 54, which are higher and feature a cornice and parapet, as well as a first-floor sill band. The windows here have wedge lintels and are also sashed. The elliptical-headed entrances have inset Doric doorcases with fluted friezes, complete fanlights, and six-panel doors. No. 52 has casement windows on the ground floor, and two of its first-floor windows are boarded up as of 1985. No. 54 was originally built as a Dower house for the Knowsley estate and was known as West End House.
