Description
The Pembroke Arms is a public house built around 1900. It features red brick construction with tile hanging and a hipped tiled roof adorned with decorative cresting. The roof has a gabled section over the carriage entrance extension and is topped with two prominent brick chimney stacks. The main roof is distinguished by a modillion cornice that is interrupted by two wide bays, ending on the right with a large flat stone moulded 'kneeler'.
The building has a tall main block with projecting square wood bays that extend above the eaves line, each topped with a semi-circular pediment and a moulded cornice. To the left, there is a wide carriage entry with a flat lintel and a one-storey section above. The overall design reflects a rich blend of Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts styles, featuring generous detailing.
The structure is three storeys high (two storeys over the carriage entrance) and has a 1+2-window arrangement. The left bay has a 2-light sash window, while the first and second floors of the bays contain 3-light sashes, all with glazing bars and Art Nouveau glass in the upper sashes, with plain glass below. The ground floor retains its original design, showcasing a central feature with quadrant returns leading to a pair of doors on the left and a single door on the right. These are heavily moulded and detailed, set against dark green and light green polished faience tiles that include excellent original motifs, including the pub's name.
The carriage entry is flanked by a pair of original wood gates topped with iron cresting. Above the fascia of the main block, there is a full-width decorative iron railing that stands proud of the bays, along with rich cast-iron decorative rainwater hoppers and drainpipes. The Pembroke Arms is an excellent example of an early 20th-century pub frontage. The interior has not been viewed.
