Public house. Probably c1890-1910; slightly altered. Red brick with painted stone dressings, slated mansard roof. Flamboyant Renaissance style. Wedge-shaped plan on acutely-angled corner site. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys plus a full attic storey, 6 windows to Church Road, 1 at the angle and 7 to Waterloo Road. Very regular facades, with a plinth, closely-grouped openings, a frieze enriched with panels, prominent dentilled cornice, and dramatic skyline formed by segmental-pedimented attic windows with pineapple finials and that at the angle with an enriched triumphal arch over it. The ground floor has round-headed windows and doorways with elaborate eared architraves which have cornices and shallow segmental pediments, the architraves linked at mid-height by square panels with raised roundels on them. The 1st-floor windows have moulded architraves with swags on the heads, and pulvinated friezes with moulded cornices; and the attic windows, breaking through a corniced brick parapet, have pilastered architraves with the segmental pediments already mentioned. Windows sashed without glazing bars. INTERIOR: believed to be altered.
