Magnificent Edwardian pub opposite Civic Theatre.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
Rebuilt in 1903 when it doubled as a hotel. Note the floor mosaic at the entrance and the large etched windows with pretty Art Nouveau-style leading above. The public bar on the right is largely in its original state with fixed wall seating, red tile floor, panelled counter and triple-arched bar back. The last is interesting because, although it has thin shafts with disproportionately large foliage capitals, it offers a restraint that contrasts with the ornateness of Victorian work you would expect a decade or so earlier.
Greyhound, Darlington
