Description

The Prince Albert Public House is a public house built around 1900, located on Railway Street in Wolverhampton. It is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and features a tiled roof with brick stacks. Designed in the Renaissance style, the building stands three storeys high with an attic and has a six-window range.

The ground floor is adorned with pilasters and an entablature, while the first and second floors have sections that project forward beneath elaborately designed cupolas. There is a sill course and pentice on the first floor, topped with a cornice and coped gables. The windows are mostly mullioned and transomed, featuring leaded glazing. The ground floor includes elliptical-headed windows with transoms and ventilation panels, while the first floor showcases canted bay windows with a 1:2:1-light arrangement and end 2-light double-transomed windows. On the second floor, there are 3-light transomed windows and single lights in the canted end bays. The attic features gablets with stepped 3-light windows and leaded lights in the cupolas.

The entrances at both ends are richly detailed, with panelled pilasters and consoled segmental pediments, as well as overlights with ventilators and panelled doors. The building has end and rear stacks, and the right return to Chubb Street includes a coped gable, a small outshut, and mullioned windows. The left return is blank, indicating a former party wall. The rear of the building has a gabled wing and segmental-headed windows with various sashes.

Inside, the public house retains original bar fittings and panelling, with a panelled screen featuring stained glass that separates the two bars.
