Although this pub is not a listed building, it is on the Campaign for Real Ale’s (CAMRA) Local Inventory with an interior of local historic interest, and the description is as follows: "Reopened in 2023 and renamed the Tamil Crown following a refurbishment that removed the original bar counter, the three-bay screen on the left that had some glazing, and created a large opening between the two hitherto separate rooms. Corner pub of early twentieth century construction with two-storeys and a ground floor dado of brown tiles (leaded windows indicate it could be inter-war). The larger bare wood floor corner bar (lost its original corner door) retains an old back fitting facing two sides with carved brackets holding up the top section - the corner section which is at an angle has a clock on top that has the original name of the pub – Prince Albert – on it. On the far left part of the main bar is a good (unused) carved wood surround fireplace.

The smaller second bar on the right, now used as a dining area has old dado panelling. There are three hatches in the back of the main bar servery, but these are not for customer use. The good carved wood surround fireplace looks like a Victorian reproduction."
