The following is off the CAMRA website
Ancient inn, remodelled in 1904 to designs by W.H.D.Horsfall, and now Halifax’s only example of a substantially-surviving Edwardian interior. Four rooms with elaborate ceilings and much of their original fitted seating lead off a central drinking lobby that features an ornate staircase. The layout has been partly opened-out and a modern stage raised above seating in one of the back rooms, but the former dining room at front-right is intact, with oak-panelling and good leaded windows depicting sporting scenes. Statutorily listed in 1995 following a successful application by CAMRA.
The original Terrazzo floor tiles have been uncovered in the central area.

To the right of the bar, and easily missed, is a separate room fronting onto the street, which has superb leaded windows and a largely intact Edwardian interior.
