This pub is locally listed, and the description is as follows: "This early 19th century public house is a handsome building that falls at the end of a long terrace of Georgian houses. Located on a corner plot this three-storey building has a roof hidden behind a parapet with simple cornicing. The brickwork, window cills and six-over-six timber sash windows have all been painted dark grey. Two of the windows have been bricked up. The ground floor has three double doors and large windows between pilasters with Doric capitals. Globe lanterns on pilasters bear the brewery name ‘Charringtons’ – a local brewery that was set up in the mid 18th century. Double trap doors to the cellar."
