The Havelock Public House

The Havelock Public House is a public house that likely dates from around 1857, named after General Havelock who died that year, with the street being renamed in his honor. It was refitted in 1889-90 by a local architect named Ward, featuring murals that were probably created by artists from Royal Doulton. The building is designed in the Italianate style and is finished in stucco with a slate roof. It stands four storeys tall and has two windows. The overhanging eaves cornice is supported by decorated brackets. The sash windows, which have only verticals, are set within eared architraves, with cornices above the second floor and brackets below the first floor. A continuous flower guard with an anthemion motif is located below the first-floor windows.

The late 19th-century pub front features an elliptical bowed center with etched glass, flanked by tiled pilasters. On the right side, there is a notable Royal Doulton panel depicting General Havelock, along with the name "Alfred T S Carter, 290, Brockley Road London SE." The rear elevation is similar to the front but includes one tripartite window and panels with roundels between the first and second floors, as well as a late 20th-century bar front.

Inside, the pub contains three Royal Doulton panels that illustrate Hastings Castle, the Battle of Hastings, and a sea engagement featuring the Conqueror boarding a French pirate ship. The interior also boasts a mahogany bar fitting with barleytwist columns, a boarded ceiling with lozenge-shaped ribs, and a black and white tiled floor. The murals may have been commissioned by Carter, who later became known as Poole Pottery, and are thought to be the work of either John Eyre or John H McClennan.
