Description
The Other Tap and Spile Public House is a public house dated 1896, with some later remodelling, designed by WG Penty. It is constructed of red brick in English garden-wall bond, with a painted basement and stone dressings. The building features stone coped gables on a tiled roof and consists of a basement and two storeys, with alternate bays featuring an attic. The façade has four bays, articulated above the basement by thin giant pilasters with moulded imposts.
The left of centre attic has a shaped gable, while the right end features a shaped parapet, both adorned with moulded coping. The entrance is located in the basement of the left of centre bay, consisting of double doors with four raised and fielded panels beneath a flat hood supported by fluted console brackets. To the right, there are boarded cellar doors, and at the right end, a tall elliptical carriage arch is closed by ramped-up boarded double gates.
On the ground floor, there is a three-light window above the entrance door, which lights the inner stairway, flanked by three-light mullion and transom windows. A similar window is located above the carriage arch on the first floor, with other windows featuring two lights. All windows are small-pane casements, recessed beneath semicircular or segmental relieving arches. The pilaster bases on the ground floor continue on each side to form a moulded sill band, while a moulded impost band serves as a sill band for the first floor windows. In the attic, the pilaster imposts are linked by a flat band inscribed with the date 1896 over the left of centre bay.
Historically, a public house has been on this site since around 1840 and was known as The Yorkshire Hussar until approximately 1980.
