Description
The Yorkshire Grey Public House is a public house on a corner site, built in 1877. It was designed by J.W. Brooker, with later alterations to the interior during the late 20th century. The exterior is constructed of pale brick with stucco dressings. The building is four storeys high, with cellars and attics. It has five windows facing Theobalds Road, and a single splayed window at the corner angle.
The ground floor features a public house frontage with pilasters and panelled risers, and arched glazing bars over the windows. An entrance is located on the corner angle, with an overlight featuring an arched glazing bar set with a roundel. A deep fascia extends across the frontage and incorporates a sculpted horse's head above the entrance. Central upper floor windows are set within a shallow, full-height, round-arched recess with slightly wider window openings. First-floor casements have blind boxes flanked by brick pilasters which support brackets and 2nd-floor sills with cast-iron guards. The 2nd floor features four-pane sash windows with rounded angles, flanked by pilasters supporting segmental pediments with projecting imposts; the central window has fluted pilaster strips, a shaped blind box, and an enriched pediment with an inset ball. The corner window has a balcony and enriched round-arched head. Above the entrance bay, set within a pedimented brick and stone aedicule, is a bas relief carved in 1878 by "Mr Plows" depicting a mounted soldier in a Yorkshire Grey uniform, wielding a drawn sword, with a castle in the background. Third-floor windows are flanked by pilasters and feature lugged sills and anthemion enriched stucco heads. A deep cornice of scrolled brackets with a blocking course incorporates corresponding attic windows, and is flanked by pilasters, with pediments containing inset balls. The central window is particularly ornate, with a large anthemion.
The interior retains only cornices from the late 19th-century scheme.
