Description

The Prince Albert Inn is an early 18th century house and public house, with later alterations. It is built using a pebbledashed mass wall construction, with a slate roof, red brick chimney shafts featuring cornices and round terracotta chimney pots, and cast iron rainwater goods. The building has a deep rectangular plan, with No. 53 likely being one room wide and the Prince Albert double the width. Rear blocks are present. Rooms are heated by end-right and rear lateral chimney stacks.

The exterior is two storeys high, with deep eaves and an eavesband. No. 53 has an asymmetrical front with two windows. A round-headed entrance is on the right, featuring stucco pilasters and a keyblock, leading to a recessed six-panel door and an unadorned fanlight. The windows are hornless sash windows with glazing arranged as 2 over 2 panes. The Prince Albert section has an asymmetrical four-window front, with the windows set at a lower level than those of No. 52. An entrance is on the left, with a 20th century door, and three high-transomed windows with vertical glazing bars above the transom are to the right. A fascia with a cornice runs between the ground and first floors. Horned 2 over 2-pane sash windows are at the first floor. Two flat-roofed, two-light attic dormers are also present. The right return of the main range has a 20th century window at ground floor right, a 16-pane hornless sash window extending to attic level, and a four-pane window to the attic right. The right return continues with the sides of the back blocks. A small hornless sash is located at ground floor left, and boxed, horned sashes are present at the first floor left and a boxed 12-pane hornless sash at the first floor right. The remaining parts of the back blocks have no windows on this elevation.

The interior was not inspected, but it may retain features of interest and an early roof. The pub was once known as the Lamb & Flag.
