Miners' Arms And Adjacent House

The Miners' Arms and adjacent house are a pair of buildings, originally an inn, located in Blanchland. The southern house dates to the late 18th century, incorporating earlier fabric, and was remodelled. A northern house was added in the early 19th century. The buildings are constructed of rubble with dressed stone details, with the 19th-century sections featuring tooled and margined stone. They have slate roofs.

The west elevation of each house is two storeys with two wide bays and a central door. The north house has a renewed door within a gabled porch of tooled and margined stone. The south house has a vertical-panelled door within an alternating-block surround. All windows are 16-pane sashes with tooled and margined lintels. A three-step mounting block is present at the southwest corner. Stone end and ridge stacks are visible.

The rear elevation of the southern house displays a central boarded door within an alternating-block surround, alongside a round-arched stair window. This window has radial glazing and a tooled stone surround with a chamfered keystone. Other windows on the rear elevation are 16-pane sashes.

The buildings are associated with a riot that occurred in 1866 between Cornish and local lead miners.
