Description
The Big Jug Public House is a mid-18th century building that was originally a house and is now used as a public house. It features painted brick construction, with a rear wing that is timber-framed and dates back to the 17th century. The building has a Welsh slate roof and is designed in an L-shape, standing three storeys tall with five bays.
The ground floor has a late 19th-century public-house front, which includes a wide vehicle entrance on the right. The upper floors are distinguished by double-keyed flat brick arches and painted projecting stone sills supporting late 19th-century sash windows. There are floor bands present, and the roof has swept eaves with three ridge brick chimneys. An early 19th-century large gilded jug sign is prominently displayed. The rear wing, which is two storeys high and has one bay, reveals visible timber framing on its left return.
