Like the Rose & Crown this pub is not a listed building but it is one of London’s Real Heritage pubs and the description is as follows: “A small, cosy community pub, Corley’s Tavern dates from 1953 and is one of London’s early pub rebuilds following bomb damage during World War II. Post-war austerity meant that it is quite a plain building though there are some modest attempts at architectural detailing with raised concrete surrounds to the (original) windows and doors, and rock-faced stonework below the windows on the ground floor. What is remarkable about it is that the two-room interior survives and is much as it was fifty years ago. The public bar faces the main road while the larger saloon is entered from Ecclesbourne Road. The other door on New North Road is marked private and leads to the landlord’s living accommodation. Both public rooms have ply panelling on the walls and the two bar counters have the same fluted detailing in their fronts. When the pub was built in 1953, its freshness and the welcome relief it offered from post-war gloom, must have made it a popular new arrival.”
