Description
The Waterman's Arms is a mid-19th century public house located on Glenaffric Avenue. The exterior is currently rendered and painted red, with a tiled ground floor and an unseen roof. A blocking course displays the name "Waterman's Arms" in large letters, and there is a painted signboard at the corner. The facade facing Glenaffric Avenue features three storeys and three windows. The first-floor windows are French casements with labels, and the central window has a triangular pediment. Each window has a cast iron balcony. Above this, there is a band with sash windows, one of which is blank, and a one-storey portion on the western side. The facade on Saunders Ness Road is similar but does not have a blank window on the second floor and features a continuous cast iron balcony on scrolled brackets for the first-floor windows.
The Waterman's Arms is part of a group that includes Christ Church and Christ Church Vicarage on Manchester Road, as well as the Newcastle Craw Dock on Saunders Ness Road.
