GV II
Public house. c1900. Possibly by James G Smith. Ashlar lower storey, brick above, with rendering in the upper storey and plain-tiled roof. Domestic Revival style. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with attic, corner site with 2-window range to St Edward Street, gabled return and rear wing comprising a further 2-window range to Brook Street. Central entrance in St Edward Street elevation, in moulded stone entablature with scrolled pediment flanked by 3-light transomed windows with curved angles and lozenge glazing in upper lights. Oriel windows with transoms and small upper panes and with bulbous aprons to first floor. 3 single windows to left in Brook Street return, with 3-light window and doorway in rear wing. Similar oriel windows to first floor. Overhanging upper storey with 2 oriel dormers in St Edward Street elevation, 3-light mullioned and transomed windows with small panes. 5-light window in return gable, and 3-light gabled dormer in roof of rear wing. Tall moulded brick chimney to rear of St Edward Street range, expressed externally by ribbing in wall between the 2 upper windows of the Brook Street return. INTERIOR: not inspected. Although the architect of the public house is not known, it bears some stylistic resemblance to the nearby Victoria Buildings (qv), and may therefore also be by James G Smith. A good Domestic Revival composition, which makes a striking contribution to the townscape.
