The Seven Stars Public House

The Seven Stars Public House is a distinctive building that showcases elements of Arts and Crafts architecture. It is constructed of brick and has a slate roof. The structure is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical layout, with the main entrance facing Chester Street. To the right of the central entrance is an advanced gable, and there is a semi-octagonal tower at the corner with Lambpit Street. The building features a four-window range on the Lambpit Street side, which steps in height and ends with a high arched entrance that leads to a former cinema, which is part of a rear wing.

The entrance has a segmentally arched design within a recessed porch, and there is a single tripartite window in a squared bay that projects from the angle tower to its left. The advanced gable on the right has paired tripartite windows on the ground floor, with a canted oriel window featuring a segmental head above. The apex of the gable projects with a pediment and is supported by moulded brackets that extend to heavily oversailing eaves. The gable also has pargetting that illustrates the seven stars.

The angle tower includes two-pane windows on each face on both floors and has a terracotta open panelled parapet that is corbelled out. Above the entrance, there is a balcony situated between the advanced gable and the tower, with tripartite 'French' windows providing access to it, all beneath a strong overhang of the eaves. The elevation facing Lambpit Street features tripartite lower windows on either side of a secondary entrance, along with three oriel windows on the first floor that are supported by moulded wood brackets and set beneath oversailing eaves, also carried on moulded brackets. The building has end walls and axial stacks. The former cinema, originally known as the Empire Music Hall, runs at a right angle to Lambpit Street and was added in 1902, designed by Thomas Price.
