Salutation Inn

The Salutation Inn is a public house that dates back to the 16th century and the mid-18th century, with significant restorations and alterations made in the late 19th and mid-20th centuries. The building features timber framing that is now roughcast, along with red brick, and has plain tile roofs with various chimneys. The gables are adorned with 19th-century traceried bargeboards.

The exterior of the 16th-century section, located to the north, consists of two storeys plus cellars and attics, arranged in an L-shape with four windows. The gable facing St Nicholas Street has a jettied first floor, which includes a three-light cross casement window with pointed arched lights and leaded glazing. Below this window, to the left, is a beaded six-panel door, and to the right, there is a four-light window with wooden mullions. The right return features a coped side wall stack and irregular window arrangement, with two first-floor casements towards the right and two 19th-century gabled dormers above. Below, there are three windows, with the central one having plank shutters. The gable on the right has a 20th-century brick underbuild and a single window on each floor.

At the rear, which faces Maid Marian Way, there are two casements, with a large side wall stack to the left and a gable with a wooden oriel window to the right. This section has a 20th-century brick underbuild with two windows and a door. The 18th-century section that fronts St Nicholas Street has dentillated brick eaves, coped gables, and two brick gable stacks. It is three storeys high with a three-window range, featuring a small central window flanked by a wooden cross casement to the right and a reglazed window to the left, all with segment-headed tops. Above, there are three renewed casements, and below, a segment-headed boarded door is flanked by large glazing bar sash windows. To the left, there is a lower two-storey addition with single windows.

Inside, the Salutation Inn retains fragments of timber framing and is said to contain a medieval roof. The building also has rock-cut cellars at two levels, featuring thrawls.
