The Commercial Hotel

The Commercial Hotel is a public house built around 1805, with later extensions and 20th-century alterations. It features painted brick with a stone base and Welsh slate roofs, along with red brick ridge and mid-roof stacks. The building has a series of public rooms with a servery along the front, separated by a corridor from private accommodation and public toilets at the back.

The exterior is two storeys high and has four bays. The main block slightly projects at the center and has a pedimented gable. It includes a Roman 3/4 Doric column doorcase set in a pedimented stone surround, featuring some decorative elements, a semi-circular fanlight with Gothic tracery, and a six-panelled door. There is a 20th-century doorway to the right. The first floor has four horned sash windows arranged in 8/8 and 6/6 configurations, while three ground floor windows were altered in the mid to late 20th century. The building has a dentilled wood eaves cornice and a hipped roof, with a later projecting gabled bay on the right.

Inside, there are four public rooms with fittings mainly from around 1930. The large plain room is on the left, while the lounge on the right retains baffles at the entrance, fixed seating, and a hatch to the servery, along with a red tiled and wooden fire surround and a contemporary mirror above. The public bar features a servery with a panelled bar counter, contemporary shelving with glazed cupboards above, fixed seating, and a wooden surround to the fireplace. The large Games Room occupies the right-hand extension, with fixed seats at the rear and a red tile and wooden fire surround. This public house maintains a traditional multi-room plan and most of its 1930s fittings, making it a relatively rare example of its type.
