NHER 62871 (Building record) - Woolpack Inn, 112 and 114 Gaywood Road

(S1) describes this public house as apparently having been rebuilt in the 1930s but on the site of a much older establishment. Red brick Flemish bond frontage curved round corner onto Tennyson Avenue. Six 6-light casement windows, wood framed with square leaded lights. Header course over each, continuous on corner. Projecting sills of headers. Four windows have round decorative arches above of headers filled with herringbone brickwork. Projecting soldier course all round below first floor windows. Eight over two pane sashes with horns under heads of headers on 1st floor. Projecting brick cornice above with parapet over of seven courses below header edging. Recessed panels over windows showing where two further first floor windows have been covered with signboards. Two doors with rectangular fanlights, three panels below panel with apparently original leaded glazing including words 'Bar' and 'Saloon lounge'. 1 narrower window apparently blocked to left of latter door appearing to correspond to one to right of Bar door. Three triple stepped stacks, two on end gables and one near corner across ridge. Pegtile roof.
(S2) records licencees of the Woolpack from 1845 onwards, and there is a building standing on this plot on the Gaywood Tithe map of 1838 (S3), although this is set back from the junction.
