Rose and Crown Hotel, Tring, Hertfordshire
Another Tring edifice in the distinctive tudoresque style - timber framing, latticed bay windows, steep pitched roof, ornate chimneys and, usually, tile-hung walls - of architect William Huckvale (1848-1936). The Rose and Crown Hotel was erected in 1905 on the site of a much more discrete Tudor-cum-18th posting house inn, its principal purpose being to house the guests of Lord Rothschild (Nathan Mayer Rothschild, 1st Baron Rothschild (1840-1915) ) who were not accommodated in the nearby family mansion at Tring Park.
Huckvale usually pulls it off with his smaller tudoresque creations but not, I think, in the case of the somewhat gaudy Rose and Crown - "architecturally deplorable" according to Pevsner - but it certainly can't be missed!

The Counting House, Tring
The 'Counting House', a Grade II listed building, is one of a number of examples in Tring of the work of architect William Huckvale (1848-1936), although in this case an adaptation of earlier buildings rather than an entirely new construction. Formerly the Rothschild Estate Office, it was used for the day to day running of the estate. The building is now owned by Dacorum council who let it to commercial tenants.

Former "Unity Hall", Tring
This building in Tring's Lower High Street was built in 1880 by the Co-operative Society and there was a Co-op store on the site until the 1980s. At some point the upstairs (shown here), which housed "Unity Hall", became Tring's first cinema, "The Gem Picture Palace" showing pictures that were "very fine and free from vulgarity." The Gem moved to purpose-built premises in Western Road, Tring, 1916.

Waiting for the Bus, High Street, Tring
The building in the background - The Counting House - is by architect William Huckvale whose work is well represented in the Town (pity about the boarded-up window).
