The Royal Mail Public House

The Royal Mail Public House is a public house, presumably built in 1879. It features a combination of brick, stucco, and polished granite, with a roof that is obscured by a parapet. The building stands three storeys high and has a one-window range. The ground floor is dominated by a wooden pub front that is set back between pilasters of marble and polished granite, with the set-back area covered in late 20th-century tiles. The wooden front includes two pairs of doors flanking a semi-circular bay that resembles an oriel window. The doors are panelled and glazed, and there is a decorative arcade across the bay, which is topped with scrolled cresting and palmette ornaments. Panelled toplights extend across the entire front.

The first and second floors are framed by brick pilasters, with a simple cornice on the first floor and a dentil cornice on the second floor. The windows on these floors are flat-arched and tripartite, separated by columns. Stucco panels between the first and second-floor windows display shields surrounded by foliage, with the shields inscribed with the dates and monograms: 'AD 1631/RMT/HWC/AD1879'. A cornice with a central pediment is located in front of the parapet.

Inside, the bar counter remains intact in whole or part, along with sections of the bar-back, which features wooden pilasters supporting an embossed gilded frieze and cornice, bracketed shelving, and four panels of engraved and faceted glass. However, the original layout of small partitioned bars and a long passage along the south side has been altered.
