The Town Mouse Public House

The Town Mouse Public House, formerly known as the Salford Hotel, is a public house located on Brown Street in Burnley. It was built between 1900 and 1914 and has undergone later alterations. The building is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features a slate roof. It is designed in the Edwardian Baroque style and has a double-depth plan. The structure is two storeys high, with a cellar and attic, and presents a symmetrical façade with two windows on the outer bays and three in the center. The central section is taller and gabled, featuring a steeply-pitched open pediment.

The façade includes channelled corner pilasters, a modillioned cornice, and a pediment. The ground floor has channelled pilasters, a recessed doorway to the right with Ionic columns, and a carved frieze that is mostly obscured by a 20th-century fascia. The first floor has three sashed windows with moulded architraves; the central window features a pediment with a cartouche, while the others have keystones that break through the cornice. The attic includes a Venetian window. The outer bays have tripartite windows at the ground floor with architraves that include Ionic colonnettes, and coupled windows at the first floor with enriched shouldered architraves and Ionic columnar mullions.

Inside, there is an original island bar made of mahogany, with inset Art Nouveau tiling below the counter and sashed windows above. Some internal partitions have been removed.
