II

Public house. Mid to late C19, with ground-floor of late C19 or early C20. Stucco and brick in English bond. Roof parapeted. Unusual plan follows curved corner site, with 3-window range to Bermondsey Street, rebated corner range with full-height segmental bay, and 5-window range to return. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys over basement. Round-arched entrance at corner, flanked by colonnettes in rebated jambs; garland to arch. To either side, as well as to party walls a rusticated pier of Ionic order, topped by pedimented and garlanded bracket; thin Ionic colonnettes define glazed ground-floor bays; plain entablature band sign fascia. The most striking feature of the building, apart from its unusual plan, is the crouching Caryatid with outstretched arms beneath the corner segmental bay. Giant pilasters flanking corner range repeated on party wall and return. All upper-floor windows are flat-arched, those to the 1st-floor with eared and shouldered architraves, entablature with fretted frieze, topped by alternating segmental and triangular pediments; corner windows on both floors are tripartite as are centre windows on main elevation and 2nd bay of return. Springing band to 1st floor. Keyed lintels and projecting sills on brackets to 2nd floor. Plain entablature band stepping out over giant pilasters; projecting cornice. Secondary entrances at left party wall and on return. INTERIOR: not inspected.
