The Kings Arms Public House

The King's Arms Public House is a mid-19th century building with early 20th century alterations, located on Stocks Hill in Holbeck, Leeds. It features painted render and faience tiles, topped with a grey slate roof. The structure is two storeys high with a two-bay gable facade facing the road. The left bay projects forward on both the ground and first floors, while there is a two-bay right return. The building has chamfered quoins and a central panelled door with a glazed overlight. Flanking the door are three-light windows with turned wood glazing bars and segmental heads below transoms, which are adorned with etched glass displaying coats of arms and scrolls.

The original wooden fascia showcases Jacobean-style arcading and recessed panels, along with an entablature that includes the pub's name and a moulded cornice. On the first floor, there are three- and two-light windows set in moulded architraves, with a moulded cornice at the eaves level. The gable is decorated with a central round-arched two-light window, which is blocked, and features a moulded keyed arch with imposts that extend as pilaster bases up to a flattened moulded gable coping. Moulded plaques on either side of the gable window read 'KINGS/ ARMS'.

On the right return, bar windows are positioned beside the chimney breast, with segmental-arched windows in architraves above, although the left window is blocked. There is also a small segmental-arched window low on the ground floor and a round-arched stair window above, both featuring plate-glass sashes. The building has bracketed eaves and a tall banded brick stack.

Inside, there is a small front entrance hall with a mosaic floor, leading to two front rooms that have been combined into one large bar. The interior retains some original wood and glass screens, doors, and benching, along with a corridor that connects to the public bar. The etched glass is a notable feature of the interior.
