Statement of Interest

The single-storey Auldhouse Arms is a good example of a unified 19th century public house interior with fine quality 1920s additions. Of particular note are the quarter-circle gantry and counter bar, panelled snug to rear and tiled fireplaces. Photographic evidence c.1900 shows the original opening to the single-storey bar at the 3rd bay with piended slate-roof porch above. This entrance has since been converted to form a window. The public bar entrance is now at the 5th bay which was formerly a grocers and confectioners occupying the far right of the building. The shop was incorporated into the main body of the pub in the 1970s and converted to provide an additional snug area. Listed as part of the Public Houses Thematic Study 2007-08.
