White Lion Public House

The White Lion Public House, originally known as King's Farm, dates from 1657 and was substantially rebuilt in the late 19th century. It has been a public house since the mid-18th century. The building features dressed stone with a stone slate roof. The original structure had a two-room front with a rear kitchen wing, and some materials from this period still survive on the ground floor.

To the right is a 19th-century addition that follows the curve of the road. A continuous hoodmould runs over the ground floor windows, and the central doorway has a decorated shaped lintel, similar to that of the Oaks on Pennine Way, which bears the date 1657 set within a tressure. The doorway features composite jambs with a chamfered surround.

On the left side, there are four-light flat faced mullioned windows, while to the right is a former 18-light double chamfered mullioned and transomed window, which now only retains two king mullions. Above the doorway is a cyma moulded cornice on consoles, along with a projecting gabled hood on consoles for the signboard.

On either side of the doorway are three large lights with basket arched lintels and dropped keystones, retaining the original 12-paned glazing, with the central light being sashed. The attached range to the right has flat faced mullioned windows with slightly projecting sills, consisting of two and three lights.

The main range has coped gables with kneelers and stacks. The left-hand return wall features an impressive extruded stack and a cut-back corner for access to the rear yard. The rear kitchen wing has a seven-light double chamfered mullioned window with a hoodmould, and above it, on the first floor, is a six-light flat faced mullioned window. The gable has a stack. The building is illustrated in the Calder Civic Trust's Hebden Bridge Trail.
