A Fuller's pub at the corner of Brook Road South and Braemar Road. The scale of the building and its street-corner location both suggest that it was built as a pub. The lettering on the frieze is cut (or moulded) into the masonry, so it seems the pub has been in the hands of the same brewers from the outset. Wiki tells me that Fuller, Smith and Turner have traded under that name since 1845 - a date which would tally well with the style of the pub and of the terraced houses in Braemar Road.
