Building and heritage

Built for use as a commercial building in the late nineteenth century, this pleasant public house stands upon the intersection of Yarnhall and Bolton Street. It has retained much of its historic fabric including sash windows and an unusual shopfront which adds to the variety of the surrounding streetscape and the wider north Georgian city. It provides an example of a Victorian brick and stone shopfront, is well presented and slightly lower roofline contributes to the variety and rhythm of the streetscape while the prominent signage to the parapet ensures that it stands out from its neighbours.
