Description

The Waterloo Public House is a public house built in 1837. It is constructed of squared stone with tooled dressings and is painted, topped with a Welsh slate roof that features brick stacks. The building is two storeys high and has three irregular bays.

At the base, there is a plinth, and a wooden fascia board is located beneath the stone cornice at the first floor level, which also has an eaves cornice. The entrance, located left of centre, consists of a six-panel door with a plain overlight, flanked by pilasters with block capitals. Similar pilasters are found at the left end and flanking the window in the right bay. Although the ground-floor windows have been renewed, they remain in their original openings and feature projecting moulded stone sills.

On the first floor, which extends slightly further to the left than the ground floor, there is a left end pilaster and four-pane sash windows set within surrounds that have pilasters and raised aprons. The left gable is coped, and there is a stack at the left end as well as a ridge stack set axially on the right.

This public house is part of the original planned development that coincided with the harbour, built by the contractors Sandersons.
