The Blue Anchor, Grade II listed building in Fishpool Street, St Albans, England
The Blue Anchor exhibits Georgian architectural elements with traditional brick construction and rectangular windows arranged in a symmetrical pattern across its facade.
Originally built in the eighteenth century, the structure served as a public house along the main northwest coach route leading out of St Albans.
The building represents the evolution of British public houses, reflecting changes in social patterns through its transformation from a coaching inn to residential property.
The structure maintains its Grade II listed status, requiring specific permissions from local authorities for any modifications to preserve its historical features.
Located among several other historic pubs in Fishpool Street, this former establishment witnessed the closure of over 25 percent of St Albans district pubs between 2001 and 2018.
