Title
Rose and Crown public house in Union Street
Description
Looking south-east at the front and side elevations of the Rose and Crown public house at 65-67 Union Street, Southwark, on the corner with Ayres Street (formerly Whitecross Street). A golden cockerel, the emblem of the owning brewery, Courage, can be seen on each large ground-floor window, and on red background on the illuminated sign over the front door and on the corner. The partly-exposed party wall with number 63 is that of the the demolished pub of the same name which had stood at number 65 (number 172 prior to street renumbering in the 1860s) next to a house on the corner at number 67 (formerly 171). The ground floor of the three-storey-plus-attic building at number 63 (formerly 173) has been a butcher's shop for more than 135 years. The pub is set back from the pavement curtilage of the original pub and the house. Numbers 59-61 Union Street (174 until the 1860s) have an arch at one side leading to a yard and buildings at the rear. The doorway and windows each have a fanlight of radiating bars. To facilitate window cleaning, a walkway grating projects across the spandrels below the second-floor sills as does a bar at lower sash level, and mortar-filled holes higher up in the wall are evidence of a missing bar. A cable bracket is in the top left corner. An ornamented hopper feeds a lead drainpipe at the western end. A post-World War II building is at number 57 styled to match 59-61 at the first floor and has a mosaic shopfront around a plate glass window on the ground floor. A scooter is parked on the pub forecourt. A sign madates turning right out of O'Meara Street into Union Street because the latter is one-way. Number 61 is Grade II listed; listing number 1386009.
