The Prince of Wales Inn

The Prince of Wales Inn is a public house located on Warwick Street in Royal Leamington Spa, dating from around 1826, with later additions and alterations. The building is constructed of pinkish-brown brick and features a painted stucco facade with a concealed roof.

The inn stands three storeys high and has two first-floor windows. The ground floor exhibits horizontal rustication, and there are quoins at the first floor. The first floor has a moulded band and features 8/8 sash windows, while the second floor has 4/8 sash windows, all set in plain reveals with sills.

The entrance is off-centre and consists of a part-glazed, panelled door with an overlight, framed by an extensive area that likely represents the original frontage. On either side of the door are plate-glass windows with aprons, each topped with 3-pane overlights and flanked by pilaster strips. These are adorned with consoles featuring lion masks, above which is a frieze and cornice. Additionally, there is a large plate-glass window with side-lights, an apron, and a 5-pane overlight, as well as a narrower plate-glass window with an apron and overlight. The building is finished with a continuous frieze, cornice, low parapet, copings, and end stacks.

The left return of the building shows quoins and horizontal rustication on the ground floor, with a first-floor band and four openings that alternate between 6/6 sash windows and blind openings. The second floor features blind openings as well. There are part-glazed doors at the end and off-centre entrances, the latter situated between side-lights and topped with an overlight, all within a tooled surround and cornice. The building also has a frieze, low parapet, and copings.

The interior of the inn has not been inspected. Historically, Warwick Street was laid out between 1822 and 1826.
