Appraisal
This public house makes full use of its corner site with a chamfered corner bay and continuous shopfront connecting the north and east elevations. It is a landmark structure terminating the vista west along New Row South. The recessed openings and casement windows add depth and interest to the facade, it is an interesting example of commercial architectural design in the first part of the twentieth century. The Tenters commemorates the Tenters Fields, the area around Blackpitts which was used as linen bleach fields.
