Numbers 50 And 52 (The Tolly Public House)

This is an early 18th-century pair of buildings, originally two dwellings, now numbers 50 and 52 on Royal Hill in SE10. Each building is two storeys and has an attic, with two windows each. Number 50 also has a sunken basement. The roofs are tiled mansard roofs; number 50 has a square dormer window. The buildings are constructed of multicoloured stock brick with parapets. Number 50 has a corniced band and a first-floor band. Number 52 has a brick cornice which is moulded and dentilled. The windows have gauged red brick arches around renewed sash windows. Those in number 50 have glazing bars set in old box frames. Number 50 has an entrance door consisting of two glazed and two fielded panels with a flat lower section. It is topped by a cornice hood and a blocked fanlight featuring interlacing pointed arches. The door surround has a narrow, moulded architrave, a pulvinated frieze, and a dentilled cornice hood supported by brackets. Cast iron area railings in a lance-head design are present. Number 52 has a late 19th-century public house front on its ground floor, featuring a double door on either side, each with an elliptical arched fanlight above. A round, projecting window bay with curved glass is centrally located.
