Red House

Red House is a house that was later converted into a club. There was a building on this site in 1717, and some brickwork from around 1760 on the north gable and east front still exists, but the building was extensively remodeled in the 1880s. In 1933, it became a club, and a caretaker's flat, originally built in the 1940s, was raised to two storeys in the 1960s on the site of a late 19th-century kitchen and services. The entire ground floor of the east elevation was converted into a single bar.

The principal west front from the 1880s is made of red brick with stuccoed dressings, and the roof is concealed by a parapet with end brick chimneystacks. The building has two storeys and a basement, with six windows. A larger projecting bay to the north, under a curved gable, features four-light French windows and a balcony with a pierced balustrade above a canted bay on the ground floor. The other windows are tall casements. The parapet includes panels of pierced balustrading and elaborate urns, with moulded bands between the floors and end quoins. There is a wide porch with a cornice that has a central curved pediment with a raised design and pierced balustrading to the balcony, supported by four rusticated Tuscan columns.

The north front mainly consists of 18th-century brickwork, while the east elevation has a full-height bowed bay from the same period. The interior retains features from the 1880s, including an entrance hall with an imperial staircase that has elaborate wrought and cast iron balustrading with a mahogany handrail, along with a series of doors, some featuring carved surrounds. The north ground floor room has a marble fireplace with a round-headed arch, a bearded masked keystone, and high relief panels of fruit. The south room contains some Minton floor tiles. Both rooms have c1880 window shutters and plaster cornices. The roof structure dates from the 1880s, and a bell from 1762, originally located in a demolished cupola on the roof, has been relocated to the upstairs front office. A Dutch merchant lived in a house on this site in 1717, and it later became the home of Mr. Tuthill, who manufactured early trade union banners, before becoming St Anthony's Catholic Club in 1933.
