The Old Vaults Public House

The Old Vaults Public House is a three-storey building dating from the 19th century. It features a rendered exterior over brick, with contrasting colour dressings, and a hipped slate roof with axial stacks. The building has a three-window range facing Chester Street and a two-window return to Henblas Street, along with a single window range extension that is styled similarly but has a separate roof, possibly indicating a refronting of a previously separate building.

On the Chester Street side, there is a central doorway flanked by another entrance on the left. Both doors are four-panelled and have overlights set in moulded architraves, which are adorned with scrolled brackets supporting entablature hoods. Wide windows, which have been renewed, are located in moulded architraves on either side of the central entrance. The upper storeys feature stressed quoins at the corners and continuous sill bands with moulded brackets. The windows are all set in moulded architraves, with four-pane sashes on the first floor and casements with margin lights on the upper storey. The eaves cornice is supported by paired modillion brackets.

The Henblas Street elevation mirrors the detailing of the Chester Street side and includes an entrance near the corner with Chester Street, as well as a separate entrance leading to the rear bar on the right.
