Description
The Edge Hotel, located at No. 26 and No. 27 on the north side of Lynesack and Softley Edge, is a hotel and house built around 1840. It features coursed squared sandstone with painted ashlar dressings and a roof made of graduated stone flags with stone gable copings. The building has two storeys and consists of three bays, with No. 28 on the left being wider. Each building has a narrow plain stone surround around the central door, flat stone lintels, and thin projecting sills supporting late 19th-century sash windows at No. 26, while No. 27 has 16-pane sashes. The roof is adorned with coping on the gables and between the two houses, and there are three banded ashlar ridge chimneys, one of which is partly removed. The hotel is situated in an important location that closes the top of a steep road. In 1790, a turnpike act was passed for a road connecting Middleton and Edge, which was known as West Pits at that time.
