The Great Northern Railway Tavern

The Great Northern Railway Tavern is an elaborate neo-Jacobean building dating from around 1900. It stands three storeys tall and features three bays that are divided by half-octagonal pilasters, with an oversailing half-bay around the angle to the right. The building is constructed of red brick with stone dressings. Its high-pitched tiled roof is topped with a tall arcaded balustrade and a shaped centre gable that includes cut brickwork and tile. The windows are mullioned and transomed, with the central window being a five-light design that is slightly bowed. The ground floor is made of red granite and features strapwork pilasters, along with engraved window glass. An ornamental iron grille is located above the left entrance. Inside, the tavern retains original woodwork and elaborate plaster decoration, primarily in the Jacobean style, with some elements of the Arts and Crafts movement. The interior also includes attractive painted glass skylights.
