Half Moon Public House

The Half Moon Public House, located at 86 New Elvet, is a building that originally served as a house and now functions as a public house and workshop. It dates from the 17th and 18th centuries, with a public house front added in the 19th century. The structure features painted brick, while the rear wing has a sandstone rubble ground floor and brick above, along with a brick extension that serves as a joiner's shop. The roofs are covered with Welsh slate and have brick chimneys.

The building stands three storeys high and has three bays. The late 19th-century pub front includes panelled Ionic pilasters, an entablature, and a wide panelled door on the right with an overlight. There is a yard entrance on the left. The first floor features a central sash window flanked by oriel windows with pilasters and bracketed cornices. The second floor has three late 19th-century sash windows. A banded chimney is located at the right end of the building.

The rear wing has a section that is two storeys tall with three windows, which includes a stone-bracketed hood of 17th-century style and five small 20th-century ground-floor windows. The first and second windows above have header-course lintels, while the inserted third sash window has a flat stone lintel. There is a floor band present. The second building is three storeys high with two bays, featuring one boarded door and another with four panels, along with sashes that have glazing bars and loading doors on the upper floors.

Inside, the pub has a mahogany semi-circular bar with fittings and a matching chimney piece. The first building at the rear contains a staircase with flat balusters and 17th-century newels with ball finials, although the stair was noted to be in dangerous condition at the time of the survey. The furthest rear building is not of interest.
