Flask Public House

The Flask Public House is a public house that likely dates back to the early 18th century, with partial rebuilding around 1767 by William Carpenter, along with various later alterations and additions.

The exterior features three storeys and cellars, with five windows. To the left, there is a two-storey section with two windows and a double hipped roof. The building has been refaced in red brick, with red brick bands between recessed sash windows that have gauged red brick flat arches. The ground floor includes a 20th-century wooden porch and a parapet. The two-storey section has a multi-colour brick ground floor and a stucco first floor. The wooden shopfront consists of three reeded pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice, above which is an oval tablet inscribed "WC 1767". The right-hand forward return of the former stabling is formed by the rear of Nos 23 to 25 South Grove.

Inside, the upper bar in the later building to the left was remodelled in the late 20th century. The lower bars in the original building, known as the Snug and Committee Room as of early 1995, feature 1930s matchboard panelling and fireplaces. These spaces are divided by a central bar enclosed by sliding sashes with glazing bars, which may include a mix of late 18th-century and 1930s work. Behind the bar, there is a dog-leg stair with turned balusters on a closed string, dating from around 1700, along with some panelling. The upper floors have not been inspected.

Historically, the Manorial Court was held here during the early 18th century.
