Duke Of Fife Public House

The Duke of Fife Public House is a public house built around 1895, designed by Frederick W Ashton. It is a richly ornamented corner building with two storeys, a slated mansard, and an attic storey. The structure is made of yellow stock brick, featuring painted stone or stucco dressings and Jacobean motifs. The elevations on both Katherine Road and the Stafford Road flank are balanced, with a two-storey wing on the flank.

The front facade includes two segmental arches on the ground floor, two three-light windows on the first floor, and a balustrade with buttresses and gabled dormers above. There are ornamental panels above and below the first-floor windows, with panelled pilasters in between. An octagonal corner turret, which originally had a dome, features linked female caryatids on the drum. The ground floor has arched entrances between the windows and at the corner, with caryatid ornamentation above. The chimney stacks are adorned with pilaster ornament, and those on the south side are gabled and buttressed, resembling the attic window. A similar gabled window is present on the slated wing. There is also a later single-storey wing at the back. The interior has not been seen.
