Description
The Royal British Legion, located at Nos. 10 and 12 Nevill Street, is a building with rough rendered and painted fronts topped with natural slate roofs. It stands three storeys tall and features five windows overall, although the two houses have distinct designs despite sharing a broad fascia band.
No. 10 has two windows and a modern entrance, with both properties now linked as one on the right side. The ground floor features a tripartite window with three 6 over 6 pane sashes. The first floor has six over 6 pane sashes, while the second floor is fitted with 3 over 3 pane sashes.
No. 12 has two ground floor bays, each with 8 over 8 pane sashes, flanked by 2 over 2 pane sashes, and a blocked entrance in between. The first floor has six over 6 pane sashes, and the second floor features 3 over 6 pane sashes. Above the central first floor window is a round majolica plaque depicting cherubs playing musical instruments, styled after della Robbia.
The roofs are plain, with a ridge stack located between the two houses. The rear elevation has not been inspected.
The interior has undergone significant alterations on the ground floor due to its 20th-century conversion into club premises. It includes a 20th-century staircase, and the upper floors have been converted into flats. The building is said to contain wall paintings.
