The Ellesmere Public House

The Ellesmere Public House dates from the 1860s or 1870s. It is constructed of rock-faced stone, with a brick rear, and has a slate roof. The building is arranged with three bays by four bays, and is in a High Victorian Gothic style. It has a projecting plinth, flush head and sill bands, and bracketed eaves below a steeply pitched roof. The ground floor has three three-light chamfered stone mullion and sash windows. A panelled door is located between bays two and three, above which is a fanlight and a gable framing the Ellesmere coat of arms. The first floor has three three-light windows with round-arched sashes, separated by colonnettes and pointed hoodmoulds. The corner on the left side is canted on the ground floor, with a shouldered-arch door below a polygonal first floor oriel window, which relates to the turn into Brindley Street. The Brindley Street elevation is similarly treated, but has a blocked ground floor opening and two gabled dormer windows with round-arched lights and ball finials. The interior has been altered.
