Description
The King William Public House is a public house dating from around 1830, located on Thomas Street. It is constructed of limestone ashlar, with the roof not visible from the street. The building has a single depth and is directly adjacent to the next property, featuring windows only on the front wall, with a presumably located staircase at the back.
The exterior is three storeys high, with a single window facing London Road, one window at the canted corner, and three windows on Thomas Street, the leftmost of which has a blind recess. All windows are six-over-six sash types set in plain reveals. The ground floor has a contemporary shop/public house front on both street faces, with a timber surround and fascia. The small-paned windows on Thomas Street, which is slightly bowed, may be original, while those on London Road are likely from the mid-19th century. There is a panelled double door at the canted corner and a secondary door on Thomas Street. The building features a plat band, cornice, parapet, and an ashlar stack with pots on the left.
Inside, the bars in the front and rear rooms show signs of an early 20th-century refurbishment. The public house is named after William IV, who became king in 1830.
