The Crown Public House 51-53 Borough Road
-
Description
The building was the Elite Cinema on the site of a former Baptist church. It was taken over by Associated British Cinemas (ABC) in 1935, and then in June 1987 it became the Crown Bingo Club and remained so until 1996 when it became the Crown Public House. The building is in red/brown brick with stone rustication to the ground floor, a dentil cornice and a parapet. The fenestration pattern includes a mixture of window styles, but the second floor is defined by a series of arched windows with stone surrounds and faux key stones. The windows are square or rectangular at first floor level, with raised semicircular windows over and smaller windows above. Other architectural features include the large domed roof and curved entrance on the corner, and symmetrical elevations to each side. Unfortunately the stone is painted yellow but together with the massive scale of the building, it presents a striking addition to the Linthorpe Road and Borough Road crossroad.
