Royal Hotel Royal Public House

The Royal Hotel and Royal Public House is a railway hotel built in the mid-19th century, with a slightly later extension to the west. It features pink and yellow local brick, along with stone and stucco dressings, topped with Welsh slate roofs. The main east front faces the railway and consists of three storeys and four bays, with the left bay set back. The ground floor is banded rusticated and includes a prostyle tetrastyle Tuscan porch in the third bay, which has panelled double doors and a margined overlight. To the left, there is a two-storey canted bay and a round-arched window in the far left bay, while the right side has a widened opening. The upper floors are adorned with quoins, a top frieze, a cornice, and a corniced parapet with pilasters. There is a cill band on the second floor, and all windows are sashes with glazing bars. The attic is raised and glazed. The hipped roofs complete the design.

The left return to Church Street has a five-bay facade in a similar style, featuring a 20th-century panelled double door with a blocked overlight in a plain corniced doorcase. The three-bay west extension, which is now the Public House, has an additional top floor above the cornice and blocking course, with a low pyramidal roof and deep, bracketed eaves soffit. The door matches that of the hotel, and the windows are sashes with glazing bars or margin lights, with tripartite windows in the outer bays. At the time of the survey, the hotel portion was empty and in a dilapidated state.
