The Abbey Public House

The Abbey Public House is a public house built in 1931 by Edwin Francis Reynolds of Wood and Kendrick and Edwin F. Reynolds of Birmingham. It is constructed of buff-coloured brick in Flemish bond, with some stone dressings, and features a clay plain tile hipped roof with a modillion eaves cornice and segmental pedimented dormers. The building has tall brick axial stacks with arched panels.

The layout includes a large central public bar flanked by smoke-rooms, with a dining room located at the back. There is also a terraced courtyard with a loggia at the rear. The building is designed in a Neo-Georgian style and is two storeys tall with an attic.

The east front is symmetrical with a 1:7:1 bay arrangement. The left and right end bays have canted bays on the ground floor, featuring 15-pane sash windows on the ground floor and 9-pane sash windows on the first floor, all in moulded cases. The central stone doorway has a bolection architrave and pediment, with additional doorways to the left and right that include overlights. At the rear, there are flanking hipped wings with a single-storey flat roof range between them, facing the terraced walled courtyard with a loggia that has pairs of columns. The south side has a 2:1 bay arrangement, with the right side advanced and featuring a canted bay on the ground floor. All sash windows are complete with glazing bars.

Inside, the public bar has a bar counter with a panelled front and a bar back with paired pilasters and a segmental pediment over the central bay. The smoke-rooms include chimneypieces, with the mixed smoke-room featuring a notable chimneypiece with a moulded shaped wooden architrave, blue and white tiles, and upholstered benches. The interior joinery may be the work of Peter de Waals of Daneway, Gloucestershire. There is a staircase with stick balusters leading to the landlord's flat, which includes a wooden chimneypiece.
