New Inn Public House

The New Inn Public House is a public house located in Lancaster, built around 1767 with 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of painted sandstone rubble, featuring brick chimney caps and a slate roof. The building is situated at the rear of Nos 10 and 12 Market Street, facing New Inn Yard.

The left side of the facade has three storeys with one bay, which includes paired sashed windows separated by a central mullion, all with projecting sills. The top left window is blocked. In the angle with the rear wall of No. 10, there is a tall stair window above a doorway on the ground floor. The roofline continues to the right, where the facade is set back and consists of four storeys plus cellars, with two main bays. The left bay features paired sashed windows with a central mullion and projecting sills; the first-floor sashes have glazing bars, while the top floor has a casement window with plain reveals. The right bay has a single window on each floor, some of which are sashes and others are casements with plain reveals, along with doorways to both the left and right. To the left, a slated lean-to roof creates an open porch, and above it is a tall stair window with glazing bars. The main facade and the return wall of the left projection contain additional doorways. Above one former doorway is a stone tablet inscribed with 'I H I' (John and Isabel Hodgson). The interior has not been inspected, but it is known that the roof contains re-used cruck timbers.
