Description
The Centre Page, located at 29 Knightrider Street, is a mid-19th century public house that stands five storeys tall and features three windows. It is constructed of red brick with stucco surrounds on the windows. The ground floor has a pilastered public house front with panelled entrance doors, topped by an enriched entablature with a mutule cornice. The first floor windows are supported by console brackets, with the centre window featuring a segmental pediment. The second floor windows also have console brackets, while the third floor windows are round-headed. There are sill bands at the second and third floor levels, and a modillion cornice at the third floor level leads to a plain attic storey above.
The Centre Page is part of the former Horn Tavern, which includes Nos 31 and 33, both also mid-19th century constructions. These buildings rise three storeys plus a mansard and each has two windows. They are made of red brick, with the first and second floor windows set in recessed rendered panels beneath high arches. The ground floor features a pilastered public house front. The sash windows are framed by pilasters that support an enriched entablature with a mutule cornice, and the upper windows have stucco surrounds. The mansard roof has two windows, and No 33 has a plain one-window return to Sermon Lane, featuring a large lantern on the corner that is lettered 'HORN TAVERN'.
