William IV Public House

The William IV Public House, located at 32 Milford Street, has origins dating back to the 15th century, with a rear wing added in the 17th century. The building was refronted in the late 18th century and is constructed of painted brick over two storeys. It features a steeply pitched gable end roof covered with old tiles and has boxed eaves. The front is symmetrical with two windows; the first-floor windows are recessed sashes with intact glazing bars and flat stucco arches. The ground floor windows were altered in the 19th century and consist of two squat lights each, flanked by thin wooden colonettes, with cambered heads and flat stucco arches that include broad keystones. The central door has four flush panels and a plain surround, topped with a tiled hood supported by brackets. Inside, there are traces of the original timber frame, and on the first floor, three trusses are visible, with a post and tie beam at the center. The building is part of a group that includes Nos 20 to 36 (even) and the Pentecostal Church.
