The Bull Public House

The Bull Public House, built in 1903, is a public house designed by Freeman, Son & Gaskell. It has undergone alterations in the mid and late 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick with terracotta cladding on the ground floor, terracotta dressings, and a hipped plain tile roof with a coped side wall stack. Its architectural style is Renaissance revival. It features moulded sill bands, a frieze, and a cornice. The building is three storeys high with a 3x4 window arrangement. Most windows are wooden cross casements, with those on the ground floor partly reglazed. They all have pilastered surrounds, and the upper-floor windows have corbelled sills.

The main front of the building has a small round-arched window with a broken pediment centrally placed, flanked by single, larger elliptical-arched windows with swan-neck pediments. A wrought-iron bracket carrying a gilt bull is located at the corner on the left side. Above are two pedimented round-arched windows set within an elaborate shaped gable adorned with obelisk finials and a central cartouche inscribed "Bull Inn". Below, a central round-arched doorway is framed by pilasters, topped by an elaborate scrolled keystone incorporating festoons of leaves and a ball finial, which forms the centrepiece of the ground floor cornice. Flanking it are two large elliptical-arched windows with a hoodmould and keystone.

The front on Stepney Street mirrors the main façade on the first floor, with an additional bay to the left featuring a pair of single-light round-arched windows beneath a pediment. Above, the fenestration and gable are similar to the Beverley Road front. On the ground floor, a single round-arched doorway is topped by an elaborate keystone, flanked to the left by a larger elliptical-arched double doorway. To the right are two elliptical arched windows. Beyond that is a two-storey block with a coped facing gable and a single elliptical-arched window.

The interior includes a front bar refitted in the mid-20th century, and a first-floor dining room with a moulded cornice, a panelled cross beam ceiling, and moulded window surrounds. A dogleg wooden stair features winders, spindle balusters, and a ramped scrolled handrail.
