Good late C19 bar-back of 3 bays and 3 shelves with turned balusters, entablature and scrolled pediment to centre; bar front possibly of the same date; good late C19 fireplace in former saloon with bracketed Ionic columns supporting mantelshelf and overmantel mirror flanked by pilaster-panels with brackets over, and deep pedimented entablature; lincrusta ceiling, perhaps of late C19 or early C20 date.
