| Listing: The Spring Hill, Warstones Road, Penn.
Comment: One of the architect Twentyman's most
significant pubs, built on a curving plan to address the site and
give the rear loggia a garden outlook.
The main front expresses this easy convex curve and its movement
is stopped by the projecting wings at each end.
The original form and detail of the main block are now submerged
under an immature recent central porch, and huge amounts of applied
weatherboarding.
However the entrance doors survive in the wings, facing inwards,
as do the ground floor windows with moulded surrounds.
