Ferry Inn

The Ferry Inn is a public house located on Main Road in Wilford, Nottingham. It dates from the late 17th century and early 18th century, with later alterations and additions made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of painted and rendered brick, featuring substantial remains of timber framing, and has both slate and plain tile roofs. It has a rendered plinth and consists of two houses and an adjoining outbuilding that are joined end to end.

The central range, which is from the 17th and 18th centuries, is two storeys high and has a two-window front with a brick facade and dentillated eaves. It has a low-pitched slate roof with a gable stack. The front features renewed segment-arched casements with four lights and shutters, and above these are two late 18th-century glazing bar casements with three lights. At the rear, there are three irregular bays of box framing with diagonal braces and mid rails, along with brick nogging.

The right range, dating from the late 17th century, has a gabled and hipped plain tile roof with an off-centre ridge stack. Opposite the stack is a mid-20th-century gabled porch, which has a small window to the left and a three-light Yorkshire sash to the right. There are also single-storey additions from the mid-20th century, and above to the right is a 19th-century casement. The former outbuilding to the left, dating from the early 19th century, features a hipped slate roof and has a segment-arched loft door on the street side.

Inside, the building has exposed joists and a lintel in the central range, along with span beams and a single post, which may have been relocated, to the right. This building may have served as the rectory before around 1720.
