Description
The Turnpike Public House is a public house built around 1840, located on Bath Road in Totterdown, Bristol. The building features a combination of render and limestone dressings, with an ashlar stack range and a cross-gable and hip slate roof. It has a double-depth plan consisting of three linked blocks and is designed in the Tudor Revival style.
The structure is two storeys high, with a single-storey block on the left side and a four-window range. An open porch is present, featuring pointed, single-light side windows, along with blind, pointed windows and canted bays on either side. To the right of the porch, there is a slate-roofed verandah supported by cast-iron stanchions, which continues down the left end of the main block. The windows are plate-glass sashes, designed with lancet or four-centred arches, and are adorned with label moulds and moulded spandrels.
The front of the building includes three full dormers on the right side, with the left-hand hip and rear also featuring dormers. The scalloped barge-boards are pierced with quatrefoils at the ends and have heavy octagonal pendants. Centrally located is a stone chimney range that runs parallel to the front, consisting of six hexagonal stacks connected by a continuous moulded cap. The interior is a 20th-century public house design, likely based on a pattern book.
