The Castle Public House

The Castle Public House is a public house built in 1901. It features red brick construction, with the upper storeys roughcast and colourwashed, and has machine-tile roofs. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has a four-window range. The central two-window section projects and includes a six-light mullioned window with four-over-two paned overlights for each casement. The ground floor windows have engraved glass. A fascia cornice wraps around the building, extending into recessed sections on either side and into the west elevation.

The main entrance is recessed to the left, supported by brick piers that carry short brick columns, which are plastered and painted to resemble marble. The entrance features double-leaf half-glazed doors to the north and a glazed leaded window to the west above a panelled dado. The first floor has four six-over-one horned sash windows, with the left window blocked by a signboard. There is a central brick cornice below the gable, which has one six-over-one horned sash window. A date plaque in the gable head indicates the year 1901. The front roof slope of the main gabled range has a stack, along with two additional stacks on the east side.

The east elevation includes one two-light casement with a four-over-two paned oversight, followed by entrances to off-sales and a club room. Both doors have two panels with a pediment and upper glazing of six-by-six panes, and there is a continuous cornice above the doors. There is also a further three-light casement to the south. The first floor of the east elevation has four six-over-one horned sash windows, with the right window blocked by a signboard, and there are two similar sashes in the attic gable.

Inside, the saloon bar features a glazed timber screen with a low doorway that has been moved north from its original position between the east doorways. One brick partition has been removed. The interior includes a Lincrusta dado and a cast-iron fire insert in the south wall. The central timber bar has glass racks and a rear mirror. The plain public bar to the west also has a cast-iron fire insert below a mirror. The billiard room is adorned with linenfold panelling and a timber fire surround.
