Cittie of Yorke Public House
(Formerly Listed as:
HIGH HOLBORN
Nos.22 AND 23
Henekey's Public House)
II
Public house. Mostly of 1923-4, probably by Ernest R Barrow,
replacing earlier wine shop of G Henekey and Co. Front faced
in Portland stone with leaded lights, side and rear elevations
of stock brick with wooden windows. Tiled roofs. Neo-Tudor
style.
EXTERIOR: 4 storeys and cellars. Front symmetrical, divided
into 2 vertical units. Ground storey of front with doors at
ends, centre with windows above timber base, slightly altered.
Above, shallow bay windows left and right rising through 2
storeys and capped with string course carried on ornamental
corbels, and then a third storey with single mullioned windows
and terminating in parapet with 2 small enriched and
shouldered gables. Large clock on ornamental bracket in centre
between first and second storeys.
INTERIOR: public entrance on right leading into wide passage
with 4-centred timber arches and paved with flagstones. Front
bar conventional with high panelled dado. Rear bar takes the
form of a medieval-style hall running north-south with open
timberwork and much dark woodwork, and lit from a clerestory
and large bay window along east side. Below clerestory, 3
arches of uneven width with a series of snugs behind. On the
west side the bar and above it a gallery on thin fluted
cast-iron columns, probably Victorian, supporting casks and
barrels of perhaps similar date, and above that again a high
passage gallery for access to casks running the length of the
room, partly supported from roof, partly by lower gallery and
with wrought-iron handrail. Fittings include a freestanding
triangular cast-iron ornamental stove fireplace with initials
'TIK', reputedly from Gray's Inn, c1815.
HISTORICAL NOTE: an inscription on the fascia reads:
'Established as the site of a public house in 1430'. The
present building retains few traces of pre-twentieth century
work.
