Description
The Grey Horse Public House is a circa 1835 public house located on the west side of Byerley Road, Shildon. Constructed of dressed sandstone with a Welsh slate roof and grey brick chimneys, it is a symmetrical two-storey, three-bay building. The façade features raised-and-chamfered quoins. The ground floor has a late 20th-century central door, a replaced two-pane sash window to the left, and an early 20th-century glazed shop front to the right. Above, three six-pane sash windows are set within flush stone surrounds and have segmental-headed upper lights. The roof is punctuated by two end chimneys and a later axial stack rising near the eaves at the right end.
Historically, the public house, formerly known as the Surtees Arms, belonged to Daniel Adamson, a local mine-owner, publican, and rail-coach pioneer. It is listed at group value for its historical significance.
