Description
The Greene King Brewery buildings, located on the southeast corner of Crown Street in Bury St Edmunds, date from the mid to late 19th century. They are constructed of red brick with white brick dressings and feature a pantiled roof adorned with pierced and fluted bargeboards, as well as a spike finial on the south gable.
The brewery premises are two storeys high and occupy a corner site that extends to Westgate Street. The Crown Street facade is divided into five bays by plain brick pilasters and has a raised white brick band between the storeys. There are four windows on the upper storey and four corresponding pairs of windows below, all made of cast iron, with small panes and semicircular heads set in shallow reveals with keystones. The central bay features a semicircular arched opening that rises through both storeys and contains boarded doors.
On the south gable end, which faces Westgate Street, there are two paired semicircular headed windows on the upper storey and two paired small-paned cast-iron rectangular windows on the ground storey, along with a raised white brick band at the eaves level. The apex of the gable is decorated with ornate mock timbering. The interior has not been inspected.
