Victoria Hotel

The Victoria Hotel is a public house and commercial hotel built in 1865. It features red brick construction with painted stone dressings and a slate mansard roof. The building stands four storeys tall with an attic and has three bays, displaying a pattern of three first-floor windows, with plate-glass sash windows throughout.

The main entrance is centrally located and features a shouldered arch flanked by moulded attached marble columns with foliate capitals. There is a narrow entrance on the far left. A modillion cornice runs at the first-floor level, where a frieze that originally existed has been replaced with a fascia board that reads 'VICTORIA FAMILY AND COMMERCIAL HOTEL'. Most windows, except those on the top storey, have shouldered arches, with the first-floor windows in bays one and three supported by two marble columns and heavy lintels. Moulded string courses are present at both window head and sill levels, with a sill moulding that clasps a square-section drain pipe on the far left. Medallions inscribed with 'VICTORIA HOTEL' are located in the frieze below the second-floor windows. The building also features deep bracketed eaves and three dormer windows: the ones in bays one and three are plain, while the centre bay has paired lights set within a Gothic gable.

Inside, the hotel boasts much fine detailing that is believed to be largely original. It was built to accommodate visitors attending the Assize Courts in the Town Hall and was purchased by Tetley's brewery in 1916 for £12,000.
