CHESHIRE - Macclesfield, Castle National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors Part One 27 Church Street, Macclesfield, SK11 6LB Tel: 01625 427866 Public Transport: Railway Station: Macclesfield Listed Status: Grade II Whitened brick, eighteenth-century pub tucked away on a cobbled street. It probably started life originally as late C18 dwellings which were remodelled later as a pub in the C19. Large C19 extension at rear. The central entrance leads to public rooms left and right, the old bar counter being in the tiny front tap room on the right; this has fixed seating and half-height tongue-and-grooved wall benches. On the right of the corridor is glazed screenwork incorporating an off-sales/serving hatch, display case and a stable door entrance to the servery which has an indicator box for the bell-pushes. On the left the small smoke room has a ornamented, probably 1920s, ceiling with a pair of lozenge patterns: high-backed fixed seating said to have been installed in 1914. This room also has a good Victorian fireplace incorporating two pictorial tiled panels. The room behind the servery with a glazed partition to corridor has a bar counter added in 1971, but the bench seating is considerably older. The fourth and rear room has been brought into pub use in relatively recent times. |
