The Rising Sun Public House

The Rising Sun Public House is a former miners' institute built in 1905 by C. F. A. Voysey for Henry Briggs or Son. The building features roughcast render on brick and tiled roofs, with an L-shaped plan. It consists of a single-storey main range connected by a link to a four-stage tower on the right side, along with a single-storey service wing at the rear.

Designed in the Arts and Crafts style, the main range has low eaves and slightly projecting gabled wings. A flat-roofed glazed verandah runs across the front between the wings, overlapping them slightly. The verandah includes three doorways arranged symmetrically, which separate the continuous fenestration into groups of three, four, four, and three lights, all with six panes. Each end of the verandah has a single-light window. The gables of the wings feature 17th-century style transomed eight-light windows with sandstone frames and small panes, along with two decorative bands and the lettering "THE RISING SUN" between them. A chimney is located on the outer roof slope of the left wing.

To the right of the right wing, the link has a four-light window, double garage doors that enclose a former open walkway, and a triangular louvre in the roof. The square tower has two vertically aligned three-light windows offset to the right, with a small single-light window at a higher level to the left of each. A decorative band runs around the tower between the third and fourth stages, which also features an oculus, an embattled parapet, and a low pyramidal roof. The left return wall of the tower has a pair of small single-light windows at the fourth stage, while the right return wall has one window per stage, all three-light except for the lowest, which is an oculus with a hoodmould. A chimney rises from the rear right-hand corner of the parapet.

Inside, the building previously housed a billiard room and library, but these have been replaced by a bar. Recent alterations include fittings and stained glass windows in the Edwardian style.
