64, 66 (Queen'S Head Public House) And 68 Acton Street And Attached Railings

This is a group of three houses, numbers 64, 66, and 68 Acton Street, with attached railings. Number 66 is currently the Queen's Head public house. The houses at numbers 64 and 68 were built around 1835 to 1845. Number 66 likely dates to around 1764, but was refaced and altered in the mid to late 19th century and then refurbished and restored in 1989.

Numbers 64 and 68 are constructed of yellow stock brick and stucco to the ground floors, with plain stucco bands to the first floor. They form a symmetrical composition framing number 66. Each house is three storeys high, with basements, and has two windows. The doorways have round arches with pilaster jambs that carry dentil cornice heads; fanlights (the fanlight above the door of number 68 is patterned) and panelled doors. Gauged brick flat arches are above the recessed sash windows. The buildings have stucco parapets.

Number 66 is stucco built and has three storeys, an attic, and cellars. It has three windows and a mid to late 19th century public house frontage which has been restored. The frontage features moulded pilasters with enriched capitals and consoles flanking an entablature with a dentil cornice. A central bowed window contains engraved glass. Double, panelled doors with engraved glass are located to either side. Stucco Ionic pilasters rise through the first and second floors, carrying a further dentil cornice. The first and second floor windows are two-pane recessed sashes. The attic storey features recessed panels alternating with two-light casement windows. There is a moulded coping at the roofline. The interior of number 66 retains good features, including a green tiled dado, a tiled cornice frieze, mirrors along the back bar and the wall opposite the counter, and a staircase with a closed string and column newels.

Attached cast-iron railings with fleur-de-lys finials border the areas in front of the houses.
