Crown Bar, 19 Links Place, Burntisland

The Crown Bar, located at 19 Links Place in Burntisland, is a late 19th century public house that features three storeys and a tenement above, situated on a corner site within an irregular terrace. The building showcases a depressed arch and round-headed openings, which are flanked by fluted pilasters and foliate drop finials. The entrance corner is chamfered and topped with a spire, while the wallhead has a crenellated parapet and crowstepped stacks. The ground floor is finished in painted ashlar, with squared rubble above, and polished quoins and dressings. Architectural details include a base course, a moulded string course, a cill course at the first floor, an eaves cornice blocking course, and a crenellated parapet, all featuring chamfered arrises.

On the northeast corner elevation, there is a timber door with a semicircular plate glass fanlight and a decorative crown, which may be original. Below this, a window at the first floor is positioned beneath a corbelled window on the second floor. The parapet features blind oculi and a spire behind it.

The northeast elevation displays two large tripartite depressed arch windows that span nearly the full width of the building. To the outer right, there is a deep-set round-headed door, all of which are topped by a fascia strip with traditional lettering. The first and second floors include a window in a bay to the outer right and two adjacent windows to the left, with a blocking course and crenellated parapet above.

On the east elevation, a door with a plate glass fanlight is located to the left of centre, accompanied by a large tripartite depressed arch window to the right and another door to the left, all surmounted by a fascia strip with traditional lettering. The first and second floors feature a window to the right of centre, a small adjacent window to the left, and a further window to the outer left, with a blocking course and parapet above.

The bar windows on the east and north left sides are adorned with leaded panes that are coloured and decorative, above letter-etched plate glass. The bar window on the north right side has coloured leaded panes only in the outer arched sections. The second floor north windows are timber sash and case, with two windows to the right, while the remaining windows are uPVC. The roof is covered in grey slates, with ashlar coped skews and beak skewputts, and cavetto coped wallhead stacks featuring a full complement of polygonal cans.

Inside, the bar features heavily decorated cornices on a panelled ceiling, beams supported by female mask corbels and scrollwork, a cast-iron column, and decorative glass, along with a modern bar.
