The Salisbury Public House And 91-93, St Martin'S Lane

The Salisbury Public House and Nos 91 to 93 St. Martin's Lane is a block of flats and chambers that includes a public house, built around 1899. The building features red brick with terracotta dressings and a slate roof, rising five storeys with a dormered mansard. It has nine windows across its facade and a central entrance to the flats. The windows are mullioned-transomed casement types.

The public house occupies the ground floor of the northern half of the block, with a return to St. Martin's Court. It has large semicircular arched bar windows on each front, a rounded corner entrance, and a doorway with a fanlight facing St. Martin's Lane. The windows are adorned with frosted and cut glass set in decorated wood frames, and the doors feature similar engraved patterned glass.

Inside, the pub maintains a rich decorative style with a long, curved-ended mahogany panelled bar and decorative shelving. A mirror-lined wall opposite showcases cut glass ornamentation, complemented by serpentine bench seating that creates niched bays. Mahogany dividers are topped with Art Nouveau candelabra in copper, designed as sinuous draped female figures holding bouquets of 'flowers' that contain the light bulbs. The ceiling features lincrusta and decorative cast iron columns, contributing to a fine fin de siècle ensemble.
