Yate'S Wine Lodge

Yate’s Wine Lodge is a public house dating from 1876, with later alterations in the late 20th century. It is constructed of stucco with a part-glazed slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has a five-window front.

The front elevation is largely covered by a balcony supported by four round cast-iron columns and enclosed by a late 20th-century glazed canopy. The balcony features five French windows with overlights, with the right-hand window retaining original glazed double doors. These are divided by Ionic pilasters decorated with dice and sit beneath an entablature. Above the canopy, a shaped gable contains a round-arched window inscribed with "The Talbot established 1580”. A balustrade with four busts on pedestals flanks the gable. Beneath the balcony, four half-glazed double doors are divided by rusticated Doric pilasters; the original six-panel double door to the right is flanked by Doric columns with dice detailing.

The interior features a rectangular gallery supported by round cast-iron columns. On the ground floor, there is anaglypta wainscoting, a frieze, and a ceiling, alongside a moulded cornice and beams. Wall mirrors are divided by pilasters. A panelled wooden bar with tile inserts runs the length of the room, with 20th-century double doors leading to the front gallery stairs to its right. A wooden staircase with a cast-iron balustrade is located at the rear.

On the first floor, the gallery has a cast-iron balustrade with a wooden capping. The roof is a double-purlin wooden structure, eight bays in length, with iron arch braces and turned king posts. The ceiling is panelled with lincrusta borders, with the four bays towards the rear glazed to the ridge. Panelled walls feature a fretwork frieze and mirrors. An elliptical arched opening provides access to the rear bar, and a large clock housed in a glazed mahogany case, with a dial within a shaped gable, stands to its right.

The rear bar has segmental blind arches on three sides, a replica doorway with a pediment, moulded cornice and a boss. The basement contains a bar retaining much of its original panelling, with a roof supported by square pillars.
