Description
The Bold Hotel is a hotel built in 1832, designed by Thomas Mawdsley, and has undergone alterations since its construction. It is made of white painted stucco with a slate roof and is in the late Georgian style. The building has a double-depth, double fronted plan with a rear wing.
The exterior features three storeys and attics, arranged in a symmetrical five-window range. It has a plinth and a prominent moulded cornice with a blocking course. The centre of the facade includes a tetrastyle Doric porch with fluted columns and an entablature adorned with triglyphs, guttae, and a moulded cornice. The outer bays are highlighted by two-storey canted bay windows with a panelled frieze and a prominent dentilled cornice at each level. The other windows have raised sills and plain reveals, all of which are 1/1 horned sashes. The roof features coped gables and four chimneys on the front slope, along with a small single-storey flat-roofed addition to the left. The right-hand return facing Seabank Road has a round-headed doorway with console imposts and a moulded head displaying raised lettering that reads: LICENSED DEALER IN SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS. Above the first floor, there is a long panel with a moulded surround and raised lettering stating: THE BOLD FAMILY HOTEL. To the rear, there is a two-storey wing with eight windows, featuring a moulded cornice on brackets over the ground floor and 2/2 sashes on the first floor.
The interior was remodelled in the late 20th century. The Bold Hotel is likely the oldest surviving hotel in Southport.
