Description
The Prince of Wales Public House is a public house built in the 1870s. It features rockfaced stone with ashlar dressings and a slate roof. The building has a curved facade that rises three storeys and consists of six bays, with the end bays and the fourth bay projecting forward. The ground floor includes windows paired with granite shafts, while the fifth bay has a tripartite window. The pointed arched entrances to the end bays are topped with shallow gables, and the entrance to the fourth bay has a hood mould, which has been converted into a window.
On the first floor, there are straight-headed windows with round relieving arches, and the tympana above them contain carved heads. The fourth bay features a tripartite window with lettering above that reads "PRINCE OF WALES/HOTEL." The end bays have pointed arched niches that house statues of the Prince and Princess of Wales. The second floor has segmental headed windows, and the fourth bay has a paired pointed window with arcaded corbelling and a pavilion roof topped with iron cresting. The end bays are adorned with gables that also contain niches. The building is capped with three stone stacks.
