Brave

Although this inter-war pub is neither a statutorily nor locally listed building, it actually still retains remnants of its distinctive Charrington’s windows plus matchwood panelling on the walls and fielded panelling on the front of the bar counter, all now painted over in a pastel green colour. Note the iron window winders – a pleasing survival.
