The Maypole

The Maypole is a former public house built around 1860. It is constructed of brick with stone dressings and has a Welsh slate roof. The building is two storeys high and features a five-window range with outer gables in a Gothic style. The ground floor is stone-faced, with the main doorway located to the left of the centre in an expressed gabled porch. To the left of the porch, there is a three-light mullioned window, and to the right, there are renewed paired windows along with a subsidiary doorway beneath the right-hand gable.

On the first floor, the right-hand gable has a flat oriel window, and there is a round-arched window in the apex above it. The central section has three arched windows with polychrome brick heads, and above these, there is corbelling to the stone eaves parapet. Two hipped gabled dormers are situated above. The left-hand gable features triple round-arched windows with polychrome dressings and stepped lights in the apex, supported by a cast-iron balconette on corbels. Each gable is adorned with shallow corbelled decoration and stone copings, and the building has truncated end wall stacks.

The Maypole makes an important contribution to the setting of other buildings on Broughton Road.
