Zetland Hotel

The Zetland Hotel is a hotel built around 1860, with rear extensions added in 1893 by J.M. Bottomley and in 1898 by W. Duncan, both from Middlesbrough. The building is constructed of brick, with the front rendered and scored to resemble rusticated ashlar. It features a Welsh slate roof and a brick stack in an Italianate style. The hotel has three storeys and a basement, with a six-bay facade. The ground floor has a public house frontage, including renewed double doors and overlights in the right end bay.

The building has a chamfered plinth with three elaborately decorated pierced iron basement vent grilles located in the 2nd, 4th, and 5th bays. The glazing has been altered, and the painted glass-panelled stallrisers are set back behind slender quasi-Ionic columns that support shorter fluted square quasi-Tuscan columns, a frieze, and a bracketed cornice. The upper windows are round-headed with archivolts and moulded imposts; the first floor has casements, while the second floor has sash windows. A late 20th-century bracketed sign is positioned between the upper floors, featuring the applied lettering "ZETLAND HOTEL" beneath the bracketed eaves cornice. The shallow-pitched roof includes three late 19th-century flat-roofed dormers and a central transverse ridge stack.

Inside, the lobby features a mosaic floor that displays the hotel name and a Greek-Key border. The dogleg staircase has a closed string and a round-headed arcaded balustrade with column-on-vase design, a moulded handrail, carved panelled square newels, and a panelled dado. The rear extension contains a 1893 polychrome faience panelled room with a three-by-five bay layout. This room has a panelled dado beneath keyed round-headed arcading, which holds etched mirrors and renewed windows within architraves. The pilasters feature mirrored panels, and the archivolts are egg-and-dart-moulded with scrolled keys adorned with cherub masks, along with reeded and fluted impost bands. There is a renewed door in an architrave, topped with a decorative panelled frieze and cornice. The ceiling cornice above the frieze is egg-and-dart-moulded and decorated with waterleaves, shells, cherubs, scrolls, and baskets of fruit. Additionally, there is a Jacobean-style geometric-panelled plaster ceiling with moulded ribs.
