Description
The Pack Horse Public House is a public house built in 1870. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and has a slate roof. The building is two storeys high with cellars and features three bays, along with a fourth curved corner bay on the left and two uneven bays on the left return. The central entrance has a panelled door with an overlight set in a stone surround, which includes a projecting keystone carved with grapes and a bottle, topped by a pack horse carrying bales of cloth. The door and window jambs are adorned with carved attached columns that feature foliage and vine motifs on the capitals, as well as shouldered arches and four-pane sash windows. The building has deep moulded eaves brackets, a hipped roof on the left, a scrolled chimney stack on the left, and a plain stack on the right.
Inside, the layout follows a central corridor plan with a terrazzo floor, a corridor bar, one room to the left, and two rooms to the right, leading to a square lounge at the rear. Some original fittings remain, including glazed panelled doors, a panelled bar front, ceiling cornices, wood-lined walls, and tiled fireplaces. The earlier turnpike public house was likely rebuilt following the auction sale of the property in 1868.
