Above the entrance is a sign for, "Charrington's Spirits" and in the window are signs for, "Charrington's Toby Ale". Three men are standing outside the entrance. There is a sign for, "Idris Table Waters" visible. The four-storey building has an illuminated hanging box sign for, "Public Bar". There is a patterned frieze below the first-floor windows and textured stonework can be seen. A masonic lodge used to meet at the pub in the mid-eighteenth century and the author, Dorothy L.
