The Prince of Wales Public House
II
Public house. Mid-1860s. Stock brick with stucco bands and
dressings, slate roofs with party wall stacks.
EXTERIOR: 4 storeys and cellars with projecting ground floor
bar to front. Upper floors 4 windows wide with sash windows in
architrave surrounds, with pilasters to sides, and rising
through third floor from broad second-floor band to carry
central segmental pediment decorated with the Prince of Wales'
feathers. Projecting bow on first floor. Broad first-floor
band over carriage entrance continued as cornice to projecting
ground floor bar. Large paned windows with acid etched glass,
perhaps renewed, set between granite piers with Corinthian
capitals.
INTERIOR a remarkable survival. The long, narrow space is
divided into front and back bars, served by a long counter to
left, by late C19 glazed screen with acid etched decoration
within Queen Anne style panels with small lights above and
below central panels with curved tops. Round-headed opening
with keystone serves bar; later opening in centre for
customers. Turned balusters between screen and ceiling. C19
counter heavily splayed, with bar back. Front bar top lit by
clerestory. Both bars with thin cornices, matchboard panelling
to front bar, which also has moulded beams to ceiling.
Included as an example of a mid-C19 public house which retains
an unusual number of later C19 fittings.
