Earl of Chatham, Woolwich (Earl)

Rebuilt about 1898. Three-storey of red brick (ground floor may be of stone (rendered on the right- hand side wall). It retains a lot of tiling in the two entrances. On the right is a wide passage that looks like a former carriage entrance with floor to ceiling tiling all the way along it and is similar to the wide passage on the right-hand side of the Angel, St Giles WC2. The dado tiling is muti-coloured with tiled panels in relief with a floral design and some plain panels. Above the dado are lots of plain cream and light blue tiling in panels with yellow and grey narrow tiles around them. Both the exterior porches on left and right have tiled floors laid diagonally. Again there is floor to ceiling tiling with on the dado tiled panels with four floral motifs in relief; above are more tiled panels of a floral theme and in relief. Thee is a tiled frieze along the top. On the far right hand side i.e. near the street is the makers details ‘ATS Carter’.

The front bar has a U-shaped bar counter that may be old with later panelling attached; the bar back is definitely modern. In the large rear bar the counter looks old but age?? Modern bar back and modern dado panelling. Modern vestibule added at the end of the passage.
