Description
The Angel Public House is a public house built in the early 19th century. It features a combination of timber framing and brickwork, topped with pantile and Welsh slate roofs. The building is an island block, standing two stories tall with cellars beneath part of it.
On the exterior, the section facing King's Quay Street is covered in white shiplap boarding and has a wide eaves low pitched clay pantile roof. The northwest gable has decorative pierced and fretted bargeboards along with a tall shaped finial. This gable also displays converging diagonal weatherboards above a first-floor window that contains three double-hung sashes with large panes. The ground floor showcases a 19th-century public house front, complete with a fascia hood and windows featuring four lights and segmental-arched heads. There is a canted corner with a window in an old door opening. The public house front extends along the northwest side, where three double-hung sash windows with small frames are located on the first floor. Additionally, there is one similar window on the ground floor, alongside a plain entrance door and doorcase with pilasters and a flat head.
To the southwest, there is a U-shaped block made of red Flemish-bond brickwork, topped with a hipped roof that has pantiles on the southwest and southeast sides and Welsh slate on the northwest. Each elevation has brick dentilled eaves, with the northwest and southeast now painted white. The northwest elevation features a large flat-roofed bay at the first-floor level, which includes five double-hung sashes with small panes. The ground floor has one similar square window and a 20th-century double door. The southwest elevation has four double-hung sash windows with small panes above two similar windows, a tripartite double-hung sash with small panes, a recessed entrance door, and a small six-pane window under a segmental-arched head. The southeast elevation has two double-hung sashes with small panes on each floor, along with a central 20th-century glazed door with small panes. The south corner of the building is curved at ground-floor level, featuring corbelled courses above. There are two large stacks on the ridgeline of the southwest range and a gable end stack on the northeast flank.
