The Waterloo Hotel is listed Grade II and is a good example of an early 20th century public house with a surviving interior of exceptional quality. The corner of the building has an exceptional cantilevered octagonal clock tower rising to four stories in height with pierced terracotta strapwork chamber to the top storey. The whole is set beneath a roof clad in fishscale clay tiling. The clock faces south to the docks serving to reinforce the historic dependency between the two. For a close look at the top of the clock tower see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5571887 .
