Red-brick pub built in the 1930s by Hodgsons’ Kingston Brewery. As you enter you can’t miss the attractive and most unusual curved doors – left to the public bar and, right, to a large room, which is now an amalgamation of two original ones. Perhaps the most notable feature is the octagonal, leaded skylight over the servery. There is also some original work in the fireplace, panelling, counters, parts of the stillion in the centre of the servery and curved cornices to the ceilings.
A suburban, red-brick pub built in the 1930s by Hodgsons’ Kingston Brewery – named on a cast-iron plaque low down outside about rights of way (Hodgsons ceased brewing in 1949 but continued bottling until 1965). Over the entrance is a shield with the three salmon from the borough arms and a rebus with K and a tun (see picture, left). These features and the general architectural style reappear at the Hodgsons’ contemporary, but larger, Manor pub in Malden Manor (now sadly closed and converted to a Co-Op convenience store).
