Comment:  An odd design in maroon-red brick with some blues, and stone dressings, on a darker brick base. Many features suggest A. T. Butler as the architect: the proportion and detailing of the Tudor style windows; the way the gables break through the eaves recalls the New Inn; the end chimney, with its top missing, in a canted projection on the corner recalls the Royal Oak; the stone plaque with the pub name is a common Butler feature. But the round tops to the gables with finials are an old-fashioned, Edwardian motif, and whole corner composition is loose and almost anarchic.
