Cross Keys Public House

The Cross Keys Public House is a Grade II listed building located in Saddleworth, dating back to 1745, as indicated by the inscription "MB SB 1745" (Michael Bottomley) on the door lintel. The building features watershot hammer-dressed stone and a graduated stone slate roof. It has a three-bay, single-depth plan with both three and two storeys, and a later parallel range added behind the second and third bays. The structure includes quoins and a 20th-century window in the first bay, with a door to the right. There is a blocked door with an ovolo-moulded surround in the third bay, next to a later door with a square-cut surround. The ground floor has four and two-light double-chamfered cavetto-moulded mullion windows, the latter having had its mullion removed, while the first floor features four and five-light similar windows, some of which retain their original leaded panes. The building is topped with three ridge chimney stacks, and the rear also has similar two, three, and four-light windows, along with an ovolo-moulded door surround.
