Description

The Yorkshire Grey Public House, now a public house and restaurant, was built in 1897 to a design by AH Bone. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with stone dressings and a steep-pitched roof covered in Welsh slate, featuring moulded and pierced ridge tiles. A brick stack is on the left.

The building is three storeys high and four bays wide. The Guildhall Walk facade incorporates a two-leaf, six-panelled front door to the left, set under a flat stone arch supported by two shaped and moulded brackets. Adjacent to this is a tripartite stone canted bay window extending to the first and second floors, featuring a central sash with eight panes above and two panes below, flanked by narrower sashes, all set under flat stone arches. The canted bay windows have a moulded sillband, stone frieze, and cornice, surmounted by a recessed brick parapet with a moulded stone panel displaying the date stone "1897". A half-glazed door with three moulded panels and side screens is set back within a lobby on the right. This opening has a recessed round stone arch with a keystone, and a flat stone arch at the springing line, flanked by brackets that support a projecting entablature with a pediment and urns. Between the entrances are two large transomed casements with three panes above the transom, set under recessed flat stone arches with splayed stone jambs and sill. The ground floor also has a recessed apron with a dentil course, fascia and cornice.

The first and second floors each have three sashes, with an eight-pane upper leaf and a two-pane lower leaf, each with shouldered stone architraves and flat arches adorned with patterned indents. Stone steps flank the architraves, and each first-floor sash has a stone pediment with a head carving in the tympanum, and a stone sillband. A moulded stone band runs at window head level on the second floor, alongside a frieze and cornice, with a recessed stone head panel featuring carved relief. The left return, facing Alec Rose Lane, is similar in design, with a three-bay, two-storey wing to the left.

The interior originally featured two tiled murals by Carter and Co., tile makers of Poole, but these are now concealed behind partition walls.
