The Horse Vaults Public House

The Horse Vaults is a public house dating from the mid-18th century, with some early 20th-century alterations. It features painted brickwork in a Flemish bond and a Welsh slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has five bays, with an L-shaped plan that includes a lower two-storey range at the rear right. The exterior has chamfered rusticated quoins.

On the ground floor, there is a central six-panel door with an overlight, set within a Tuscan surround, and flanked by square bay windows. These bay windows have three front panes of etched glass beneath two-pane overlights, all under a continuous fascia. The first floor has sash windows with projecting ashlar sills and voussoired wedge lintels that feature fluted dropped keystones, arranged in a pattern of 1:3:1. The building is topped with a moulded cornice and a blocking course, and it has ashlar coping at the ends along with brick end stacks.

Inside, on the ground floor to the left, there is a well-preserved cast-iron fireplace from around 1900, decorated with attractive tiles. Although the ground floor rooms have been combined into one large bar, the cornices remain intact.
