Description
The Turks Head Public House is a late 17th century and 18th century building, constructed in two phases. The right part of the building is three storeys high with three slightly irregular windows. It is made of local pinkish brick and features a very high pitched roof with swept eaves, which is now slated. A central T-shaped stack made of old bricks is present, although the top has been replaced. The first floor windows are adorned with elaborate gauged brick arches, and all have renewed sashes. The building has a brick stepped and dentilled eaves cornice.
The central public house front has canted bays flanking a double door made of six fielded panels, which is topped with an oblong fanlight, all under a uniform fascia. The outer windows are set in proud architraves. On the left side, there is a two-storey, two-window section made of painted brick, also featuring a stepped and dentilled eaves cornice and a high pitched slated roof. To the right, there is a two-storey canted bay that matches the others, while on the left, there is a replaced sash window above a door of six fielded panels with an oblong fanlight. The door on the left is numbered 22.
