Description
No. 18 St James Street is a public house, formerly known as the Boot Inn, built in 1911 by H Thompson of Blackpool. The building is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features a slate roof, showcasing the Edwardian Baroque style. It has an obtusely-angled plan on a corner site, with a convex corner.
The exterior consists of two storeys with a total of six windows: two facing St James Street, one at the corner, and three facing Parker Lane. The parapet is decorated with unpierced roundels, and the corner features a round-headed panel within a semicircular open-pedimented architrave supported by scrolls. The curved corner has three-light mullioned sashed windows on both floors, with linked architraves that include panelled aprons on the ground floor and carved panelling between the floors.
To the left and right of the corner are wide doorways with elaborate architraves, including panelled pilasters and prominent open pediments on consoles—triangular on the left and segmental on the right—both adorned with carved enrichments. Above each doorway is a segmental-headed sashed window with a shouldered architrave linked to that of the doorway. The St James Street facade features a two-light mullioned sashed window at ground floor and a one-light window above, both with similarly linked and enriched architraves. The Parker Lane facade includes one wide and one narrow window at ground floor, with coupled and single sashed windows above, all in similar architraves. The building has a ridge chimney and a gable chimney to the right.
The interior has been altered. Historically, this building, along with No. 16 to the left, was part of the architect's scheme to replace the former Boot Inn and farm buildings on this site. It forms a group with No. 16 and with No. 22 (The White Lion) on the opposite corner.
