Yellow brick set in Flemish bond, stucco, and possibly also stone, roof of artifical slate so far as visible. Four and five storeys over basement, thirteen-window range. The pub of five-window range and projecting slightly between symmetrical wings, the whole front curved in plan, the outer bays also projecting slightly. The two wings match each other except that nos 32-33 Cowcross Street has been plastered over. On nos 101-102 Turnmill Street the ground floor is stuccoed; flat-arched entrance to right with segmental-arched overlight set in rusticated surround; the other three openings, which are slighly altered, have segmental stilted arches with faceted keystones and paterae in the spandrels; moulded stucco cornice. Outer window on each floor round-arched; the rest flat-arched to first floor, and segmental-arched above with keystones and alternating stone and brick voussoirs; roundel with cock in low relief below outer second-floor window. Stucco cornice and blocking course. The pub has a ground-floor frontage of stucco or possibly stone with a deep base and paired pilasters to either side linked by blocks, fascia and cornice over; between these the pub front consists of a central entrance flanked by two flat-arched windows of unequal width on either side; slim fluted columns between entrance and windows, pairs of similar columns between windows. Upper windows segmental-arched to first floor, round-arched to second and third floors with sill bands to first and second floors, bracketed cornice at sill level to third floor; the central windows a group of three with broad stucco architrave, archivolts and shallow arcaded bracketed balcony to central window on the second floor; deep bracketed cornice; three round-arched dormers with metal finials rising from the parapet. The only original features of the interior are the decorative treatment of the beams, and possibly the ceiling paper. There is a pawnbroker's sign on the outside of the pub. George IV granted the landlord here a pawnbroker's license, which still holds good today, in reward for the loan of money against his pocket-watch, to pay for his gambling depts at a Clerkenwell cockfight.
