The Churchill Public House

The Churchill Public House, located at No.58A Bank Parade in Burnley, is a terraced row of three townhouses that have been converted into a public house and offices. Built around 1820 to 1825 by Anthony Buck, the building features coursed squared sandstone on the sides and a watershot rear, topped with a slate roof. It has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys high over cellars, with a symmetrical arrangement of windows: two sets of two windows on each side of the central entrance.

The building has a plain plinth and a moulded gutter cornice. Each townhouse has its doorway on the left, framed by a moulded architrave and a floating cornice. The windows are restored 12-pane sashes that decrease in height from floor to floor, all set on raised sills with plain surrounds. No.58A displays an inn sign on a wrought-iron bracket at the first floor. The roof is hipped at the left end and currently lacks chimneys.

The left return side facing Raws Street features a four-window arrangement with a doorway similar to those at the front, along with a lower single-window back extension. The rear includes full-height round-headed stair-windows. Although the interiors have been altered, No.62 retains a doglegged stone staircase with delicate curvilinear wrought-iron balusters. The Churchill Public House forms a group with the adjoining buildings at Nos.64-68 to the right.
