GV II

Public house. Probably early C19 with mid-C19 alterations. Yellow brick set in Flemish bond, stucco, roof obscured by parapet. Three storeys, three-window range to Canonbury Road and to Canonbury Grove. Principal pub front in Canonbury Road: ground floor divided into five bays by wooden pilasters, presumably C19 in date; the doors and window mid-to-late C20. Fascia between ornate console stops. First-floor windows flat-arched with moulded stucco architraves, the middle one with pediment on console, outer ones with cornice on consoles; these windows have piano nobile proportions; second-floor windows flat-arched with moulded stucco architraves partly obscuring presumably earlier gauged brick heads; the middle window blank. Stucco frieze, cornice and blocking course. Canonbury Grove front has ground floor decorated with banded rustication with one flat-arched window and one broad segmental-arched opening, with late C19 tripartite doorcase with engraved glass. Upper floors repeat the arrangement in Canonbury Road, except that the central first-floor window is blank. Stack breaks through blocking course. Inside the only C19 or early C20 features are the bar counters in the front and back bar and the cornice of the bar-back in the front bar.
