No. 50 Chequers Inn

No. 50 Chequers Inn is a public house located on the corner of Rivers Street and Rivers Street Mews. It dates from the early 19th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century, and it may have been rebuilt on the Rivers Street Mews side in the mid-19th century. The building features limestone ashlar on the front, painted ashlar on the right side, and a combination of ashlar and rubble at the rear. It has a double-pile Welsh slate roof that is parapeted at the front and right side, hipped at the right, and has an axial stack at the rear right, positioned between the main range and a likely 19th-century extension. There is also a large ashlar stack on the left shared with No. 49 Rivers Street, which has some early clay pots.

The exterior is double-fronted, with a staircase at the rear. It stands three storeys tall with a basement. The front elevation has paired windows on each storey flanking a central entrance. The first floor features two pairs of plate glass sash windows with plain reveals, a continuous stone sill, and two wrought iron balconettes on the right-hand pair. The second floor has similar windows but without balconettes. The ground floor has six-over-six pane sash windows in pairs. The central entrance consists of a 20th-century panelled door set within a beaded reveal, topped with a moulded hood on console brackets, and there is a modern hanging pub sign above. A moulded eaves cornice and a coped parapet are present above.

The rear elevation is partially visible and includes glazing bar sashes on the third floor. Inside, the ground floor rooms have been combined but still retain a cornice and dado rail, featuring Regency revival decoration from the mid-20th century. Historically, this building has been known as the Chequers Inn since at least 1833, and the basement once housed a brewery for light ale and porter, with records of this activity ending in 1934.
