Description
There was a public house in this location by 1854, when Peter Akehurst was landlord. The pub was owned by Brighton Brewery from 1871 until 1900 when Tamplin’s took the premises over. They refurbished the property in 1912 which likely included the green tiled pub frontage. The frontage incorporates distinctive curved timber windows and panels, forming a symmetrical design with central doors. Etched glass advertises the Courage brewery and incorporates their trademark cockerel. Three storeys with parapet. The building is rendered above ground floor level, with two canted bays and a central hanging pub sign. Heavy mouldings to parapet.
