Description

The Keeper's Arms is a two-storey public house located on a corner site at 1 Bridge Street in Tranent. The building consists of properties from two different periods: 1-3 Bridge Street, which dates to the early 19th century, and 2 Church Street, which is from around 1800. The exterior features painted render with a painted ashlar base course and most of the dressings. There is a frieze and moulded cornice that separates the first and second floors of the Bridge Street property, while the rear is harled. The roofs are red tiled and piended at the corner, with ashlar coped skews and mutual gable stacks, which are brick on the northern gables.

For 1-3 Bridge Street, the south elevation has three bays and features a central door, another door to the outer left, and two public house windows. The first floor has two windows, and there is a tall sandstone set-off wallhead stack to the right of the center. The east elevation has three pub windows at ground level and three first-floor windows. The first-floor windows are plate glass sash and case.

The property at 2 Church Street was originally three bays, but the central door has been blocked, and a later door was inserted to the right. It has barred windows, with a blocked window in the outer right bay and a window to the outer left. There are three first-floor windows, and the ground and rear windows have been altered, with two first-floor windows remaining. The sash and case windows feature a 12-pane glazing pattern.

The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1989.
