Description
The Flying Horse Walk is a public house that now serves as the facade to a shopping precinct. It dates back to around 1483, with an addition made to the left in the late 18th century. The building underwent extensive restoration around 1935 and was further restored and converted in 1989. It features timber framing that is rendered, with facsimile pargetted panels and plain tile roofs.
The structure has three storeys and two storeys plus attics, with a total of eight windows arranged in the pattern of 1:1:2:1:3. Most of the windows are wooden framed cross casements. The central gable projects and rises three storeys, flanked by lower double-gabled wings. All gables have renewed carved bargeboards. The central gable features two jettied floors, each with two windows and pargetted panels below. The upper windows, which have three lights, are inscribed with "Ye Flying Horse established in year 1483." There is also a relief panel at the peak of the gable.
On the ground floor, there is an arcade supported by three wooden Tuscan columns, along with an offset canted projection that has two windows. To the right, there are two gables with strapwork panels and irregular fenestration, including a late 20th-century shopfront. To the left, there are two slightly lower gables that are jettied on the first floor, each featuring stucco panels. The first floor has long multi-light windows, while smaller windows are located in each gable peak. The ground floor has three unequal windows. The interior was refitted around 1989.
