The General Eliott Public House

The General Eliott Public House is an early 19th-century public house that incorporates parts of a house dating back to around 1700. It was restored around 1982 and features a rendered brick exterior with a slate roof. The building stands four storeys high and has two bays, with an additional three-storey bay on the right. The ground floor has a public house front that dates to around 1900, while the upper floors have plain sash windows with continuous sills, and the right bay features small square windows.

Inside, there is a small front bar that has been refitted in a traditional style, complete with tiled bar and walls, dating to around 1980. The General Eliott is noted as one of the early surviving brick buildings in the town, with original floor framing believed to still be intact, although the top storey was added in the 19th century. The pub is mentioned in Baines' Directory of 1817, where William Lee is listed as the victualler. By 1839, George Flockton had taken over, and by 1853, Thomas Greenhow was the victualler, remaining in the directories until at least 1888.

The building is situated at an important corner where one of the medieval main streets, Kirkgate, intersects, and it is located opposite the site of the former Vicarage. The pub is likely named after General George Augustus Eliott, First Baron Heathfield, who is known as the Defender of Gibraltar.
