The Wellington Inn

The Wellington Inn is a public house dating from around 1850. It is constructed from buff-brown brick in English garden-wall bond, featuring painted stone dressings and timber eaves guttering supported by block brackets. The building has a slate roof at the front and a pantile roof at the rear, with brick ridge stacks.

The exterior showcases a symmetrical two-storey facade with three bays, plus a fourth bay at the right end above a carriage arch. The central entrance consists of double doors made of moulded panelling, topped with a divided overlight and framed by a lugged architrave with a pulvinated frieze and a scrolled pediment, which is interrupted by a central ball finial. The flanking windows have similar architraves but without the finial, and they are fitted with horizontal opening lights above plate glass windows, divided by a central colonnette mullion. The elliptical carriage arch is closed off by boarded garage doors. All first-floor windows are 4 over 4-pane hung sashes, and all windows have painted stone sills.

At the rear, the ground floor is partly obscured by later outbuildings. There is a central glazed and panelled door, with a 12-pane sash window to the left, sheltered by a glazed pent porch supported by cast-iron columns. The first-floor windows are 12-pane sashes, all with painted stone sills and flat arches of brick.

Inside, the layout follows a traditional beerhouse plan with a central passage. On one side, there is a public bar with a servery hatch and a private back room, while the other side features two small lounges. Original fireplaces are preserved in both front rooms, and the rear right room is lined with tongue and groove board panelling. The entrance passage has stone flagging, and the staircase includes shaped tread ends, slender turned balusters, and a serpentine handrail that is wreathed at the foot. Some benches may be original.

Historically, in 1867, the pub was known as Lawson's Beerhouse, and by 1887, it was referred to as the Sir Colin Campbell.
