Former Burns' Head public house

The Former Burns' Head public house, now a shop, was built in 1884 by Robert Clamp of Hull and features a Neo-baroque style. The building has undergone alterations in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Constructed from stucco with a slate roof, the three-storey building, plus attics, has a polygonal plan. The main elevation, which faces Whitefriargate, is two bays wide. The ground floor features a late-20th century shop front beneath a modern fascia. On the first floor, there are two windows with keystone surrounds, moulded cornices, and triangular pediments, both fitted with late-20th century windows. Between these windows is a round-arched niche adorned with a shell finialled hoodmould and scrolled sill brackets. The windows are flanked by panelled pilasters with ornamentation, Corinthian capitals, and fruit swag drops, supporting a moulded cornice that creates projecting sills for the windows above. These upper windows are decorated with ribboned floral swags.

The second floor has two windows with moulded, eared, and scroll shouldered surrounds under swan-neck pediments, also embellished with swags, and fitted with late-20th century two-light casements. Flanking these windows are partially reeded end pilasters with bas relief capitals, supporting a projecting moulded egg-and-dart cornice on fluted brackets. The attic features two dormers that rise from the second-floor cornice, each containing a segmental headed window with a moulded, scrolled, and keystone surround, along with two-light early-20th century casements. These windows are flanked by large volutes with sculpted fruit clusters, and a short broken moulded cornice supports two elaborate scroll shouldered gables, each topped with a moulded and finialled shell pediment, centrally supported by scrolled and ornamented brackets. The building has a pitched roof, a tall coped and panelled chimney stack at the west end, and two dormers.

Inside, a range of fixtures and fittings are reported to remain in place on the upper floors.
