Description
The Lamb Public House is a public house first mentioned in 1731, although the front of the building likely dates from the mid or late Georgian period or later. It is constructed of yellow stock brick and features a slate roof. The building has four storeys and cellars, with a façade that is four windows wide and includes a splayed angle at the north end, which bears a parish boundary marker dated 1831. The upper storeys exhibit Georgian architectural elements, while the ground storey presents a Victorian pub front, enhanced with Edwardian faience tiling in two shades of green. A painted fascia displays the names 'The Lamb' and 'Wine and Spirit Establishment', and there is a notable hanging iron lamp bracket with a lantern at the first-floor level. The rear of the building has been significantly extended.
Inside, the pub features match-board walls and ceiling, with a main area that includes fixed seating around the perimeter and a U-shaped bar in the centre. The bar retains snob screens with moveable glass panels and is supported by four thin cast-iron columns with palmette capitals. Two similar columns behind the front help support the upper portions of the front. A staircase at the rear is part of a refurbishment from 1958, during which partitions that previously divided the front area into two private bars were removed, and new lobby partitions were added. The interior is an exceptional example of 'Victoriana', where the authentic late 19th-century features were enhanced by restoration efforts. Some snob screens are original, while others are part of this restoration. There is a partitioned area at the rear of the right-hand bar with late 19th-century partitions, which was originally the pub's office.
