Dr. Browns Public House, 135 Corporation Road

  • Description

    Originally built as three terraced houses, the building was licensed as a public house in 1866. Occupying a triangular corner plot, it forms a dominant junction between Marton Road and Corporation Road. The public house was most commonly known as the Borough Hotel, and is now Doctor Browns. A two storey red brick building in Flemish bond with a granite stringcourse at ground floor sill level. The fenestration pattern is regular, with arched ground floor windows, with elaborate decoration to the lintels. The first floor windows have a distinctive pie crust design, which is also apparent on the Princess Alice pub. The facade includes decorative plasterwork iwith the Erimus coat of arms on either side of the corner bay. There is evidence that the ground floor plinth was a once glazed tile, which is now rendered. The design is a good example of pub architecture from this period.
