Ye Olde Cross Public House 'Dirty Bottles'

Ye Olde Cross Public House, also known as "Dirty Bottles," is a two-storey building with an attic, dating from the 17th century, with later alterations including an early 19th-century attic storey. The structure is made of painted dressed stone. The right side features two windows and has a moulded eaves cornice, modern tiles, and a raking top with a Yorkshire sash window. There are also two-light casement windows and a stone-bracketed hood over the doorway, which is adorned with an upside-down shield displaying the de Vesci arms, likely from the 13th century. The ground floor includes an old bow window that is said to contain dirty bottles, a superstition that gives the inn its nickname. The left side of the building has a built-up gabled dormer, plate glass sash windows on the first floor and attic, a glazing bar sash window on the ground floor to the right, and a modern recessed bow window to the left, with a blocked doorway between them. There is a gable light to the attic on the left side, and the roof is slate with a moulded cast iron gutter.
