Description

The King's Cross Public House is a two and three-storey building with stucco elevations and a slate roof. It features a splayed corner to the northeast and a parapet. On Mill Lane, there are two windows, including one in the splay, with 9-pane hornless sashes on the top floor and 12-pane hornless sashes on the first floor. The ground floor has a late 19th-century style public house front, which includes a doorway in the splay and two windows to the left. To the southwest, there is a two-storey, three-window block with two 4-pane sash windows on the upper floor and a small window to the left on the ground floor, along with a doorway that has a broad café entrance. The cornice of the public house front continues down the Caroline Street elevation, which has two windows with modern casements.
