Elms Inn, Burton upon Trent

Built as a house in the 1890s and later converted into a pub. The two narrow front doors have etched 'Elms Inn' panels on them and a passage with tiles laid diagonally runs to the rear with a hatch of no great age on the left and a 'Salt & Co's Burton Ales' mirror. On the left is the very small public bar with bare floorboards, a substantial Victorian counter with brackets decorated with acanthus leaves (painted green) and grapes (painted black) and fixed bare window seating. Note the two small 'vaults' panels on small screens on the top of either side of the counter and a good narrow 'Salt's Pale Ale' mirror. On the front right with wide gap from the passage is a small room with bare floorboards, good fixed seating (old, but age?), wood panelling above fixed seating but added when? Good wood surround fireplace with new stove. At rear middle left through a wide doorway is another tiny bar with very old, possibly Victorian counter, old dado, fireplace lost (new dado panelling instead) - looks like a room since it was a pub but there is no bar back. Extended to the rear where a wide doorway leads to a large room with a flagstone-like tiled floor.
