Bridge Inn And Attached Railings

The Bridge Inn is a public house dated 1905, located at the corner of Bridge Street and Bank Parade in Burnley. It is built from coursed sandstone rubble with freestone dressings and features a hipped slate roof, showcasing an Edwardian Baroque style. The building has an irregular plan due to its acutely-angled corner site and stands two storeys tall.

On the exterior, there are four windows facing Bridge Street, a narrow single-window splayed corner, and a five-window entrance front to Bank Parade. The dressed quoins, plain frieze, and modillioned cornice are prominent, with the cornice broken at the corner by a pedimented feature. The Bridge Street facade has a regular arrangement of sashed windows on both floors, framed by vertically-linked architraves, with plain aprons and raised sills. The ground floor windows are accented with panelled pilaster jambs, plain friezes, and moulded cornices, while the upper windows have shouldered architraves and small cornices.

The Bank Parade facade is similar but features coupled windows in the first bay on both floors, supported by engaged Tuscan columns at the ground level. The second bay contains a tall doorway with a panelled pilastered architrave, a moulded lintel, a plain frieze, and a dentilled cornice, leading to panelled double doors topped with a large overlight. The splayed corner displays a carved cartouche at the ground floor with raised lettering that reads "BRIDGE INN / 1905," and a narrow sashed window above it with a moulded architrave, pulvinated frieze, and moulded cornice. Above this window is a pilastered segmental-pedimented feature with a shouldered panel that includes carved Art Nouveau foliation surrounding raised lettering "G.D.L.F." The building is topped with ridge chimneys.

The interior has been altered, and the front area along Bridge Street is enclosed by wrought-iron railings divided into six sections, each featuring an Art Nouveau panel in the center.
