Description
1901 by architect T.H. Scutt for brewers Smithers & Sons of Western Road, Hove. The pub was originally named the Kendal Arms, with its address on Kendal Road. Frank Washington – part of a prolific family of landlords - was the first landlord. Smithers owned the pub until 1929, when the building was taken over by Tamplin’s. Its current name relates to the Payne involved in developing the surrounding streets in c.1900. The designs for the surrounding houses were also by architect T.H.Scutt. Two storey rendered building with tiled roof. Elevations to Kendal Road and Payne Avenue. Round-arched openings to the ground floor and hung sash windows above. Fascia extends across full length of both elevations. Highly decorative gable to the corner, which is canted. Location of original pub sign evident on Payne Avenue elevation. To the west, a further lower building with pitched roof and gable to road, displaying similar detailing. Source: Portslade History
