70, Heworth Village

This is a mid-18th century inn, later converted into a house. It was likely expanded with an attached cottage in the early 19th century, with alterations around 1900 and modernization and extensions in the 1930s. A further remodelling and conversion to domestic use occurred in 1975. The front and left side are whitewashed and pebble-dashed, the rear is of 20th-century brick, and it has a timber doorcase and eaves cornice. The roof is pantiled with one brick and one rendered stack. The two-story, five-bay front has strengthened bays to the right, marked by rendered tie rod clamps. A pilastered central doorcase features a dentilled and modillioned cornice above a glazed and panelled door. The right-of-centre bay has tripartite windows on both floors, with unequal 20-pane centre sashes. All other windows are unequal 20-pane sashes with painted sills. A dentilled and modillioned eaves cornice runs along the top, and a raised first-floor band extends across the three central bays. A Phoenix firemark is fixed above the door. The interior was not inspected. The inn was known as The King's Head in 1810, and subsequently as The Britannia from around 1840 until its licence was transferred around 1965.
