Full Description

The Jubilee Hotel is a purpose-built ‘improved’ public house, designed by the noted architect Walter
Brierley and constructed in 1897 in Queen Anne style. It is described in the Chief Constable’s licensing
report of 1902 as having a smoke room, a bar, a snug, a taproom, a bottle and jug department, and
kitchen on the ground floor, and a function room and seven bedrooms above. This pub is not included in CAMRA's historic interiors database.
The building is constructed of grey mottled brick in English bond with architectural detailing in orange
brick, some moulded brick in the window and door surrounds, and a roof of Cumberland slate, with brick stacks and dormer windows. The building has timber framed sash windows. While elements of the
internal plan may survive, the layout appears to have been altered by the insertion of modern toilet
facilities and for example the insertion of a modern bar in what appears to have originally been a lobby.
There are no original features such as seating or bar counters, and historic features are limited to
five-panel doors and some fireplaces, one on the ground floor appearing to have been re-positioned as it is too small for its present location. The first floor function room remains but with the exception of a
chimneypiece this is exceptionally plain, and the original seven bedrooms have been reconfigured.

The Jubilee Hotel, with an attractive Queen Anne exterior by Walter Brierley, is a building of local interest, but within a national context it lacks the special architectural and historic interest required to qualify for listing.
