Description
The Eagle Tavern is a public house located on Rochester High Street. It features an early 19th-century re-fronting of an earlier building, which may date back to the 17th century. The structure has a timber frame that is clad in brick, topped with a hipped roof covered in Kent tiles. The original layout of the building is unclear, but there is a rear stack that breaks the catslide roof over an outshut. The façade has three windows, which are 2-pane horned sashes set in reveals beneath depressed brick arches. The ground floor has an Edwardian or Edwardian-style public house frontage, complete with a moulded cornice and pilasters. This frontage wraps around a canted corner entrance that connects to a recessed gable-ended section featuring a large horned sash with margin panes, situated under a brick flat arch on the first floor. There are late 20th-century extensions at the rear. The interiors have not been fully inspected.
