Description
The Royal Exchange Public House is a public house located on Joy Street in Barnstaple. It dates from the mid-19th century, or possibly earlier. The building features a painted brick front in Flemish bond and has a tarred, slated roof. An old red brick chimney, which has been heightened or rebuilt in old red brick, is present.
The structure is two storeys high and has a three-window range. The ground storey is arranged in four bays that are flanked and separated by pilaster strips, which support an entablature with an enriched cornice. The three left-hand bays have plain windows with sunk panels below them. The right-hand bay contains two doors: the bar door on the left has a sunk panel below and a glazed panel above, with the glass inscribed "BAR" and "WINES AND SPIRITS." The left-hand door leads to the lounge and skittle alley and features two upright glazing bars forming margin panes, with a sunk panel in the centre that may have been a former window, accented by projecting bricks forming a shaped head. The building is topped with a modillioned eaves cornice. The interior has not been inspected.
