Wolves, Warrington

Built of red brick c.1900 for the Greenall Whitley Brewery Company (Architects William and Segar Owen). It retains 5 of its six separate rooms albeit partly modified and a number of good etched glass windows. Main front door leads into a lobby which appears to have the original counter but it has clearly been moved as it doesn't tie up with the floor markings. There is an exterior window to the right of the entrance with an 'Outdoor Department' etched panel so the off sales has been lost. The quality bar back fitting looks modern but may be re-worked. Doorway leads to the front left room which retains its original fixed bench seating all around the room, the odd bell push but has a modern tiled, cast iron and marble effect fireplace.

The rear left room is slightly opened-up and retains its original fixed seating. A passage to the toilets at the rear has original dado wood panelling. Rear middle room is small with the original bar counter, original fielded panelling and fixed seating. A doorway leads to the right hand bar was originally two rooms which retains its original bar counter, original fixed seating and the original vestibule entrance from the front door. It has lost its fireplace and there is a hatch to supervise rear part of the room. All the bar fittings have lost their original dark stain and the rooms have moulded plasterwork.

Update 2012 - up for sale at £175,000.
