Public house and music-hall. 1902 by A. Stockwell; originally the 'Carlton' P.H.
Sandstone ashlar; Welsh slate roof. 3 storeys and attic, 3 bays. Ground floor
has recessed entrance at right, curved window with slender pilasters at left.
Bracketed ground-floor entablature. Upper floors have narrow sashes in end bays,
paired sashes in centre, all in architraves; pediments above first-floor end
windows and end pilasters. Dentils to these and to central window cornice. Top
