The Oakwood And Oakwood Restaurant

The Oakwood and Oakwood Restaurant is a public house and restaurant located on High Street West in Glossop. It was built around 1870 and has undergone some alterations in the 20th century. The building is constructed from rock-faced millstone grit with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate Mansard roof. It showcases Gothic Revival architectural style.

The exterior is two storeys with an attic. The front facing High Street has four windows. The ground floor includes four pilasters, a blocked doorway to the right, and two large windows, each featuring two round-headed lights supported by columns and moulded arches. Above this is a continuous fascia board, and on the first floor, there are two pairs of pointed arch plain sash windows with columns in between and hoodmoulds with carved stops. The attic features two segment-headed dormer windows with plain sashes and moulded surrounds.

At the corner of the building, there is a canted doorway with a two-panel door and an overlight. Above this is a narrow canted bay window with three narrow windows, topped by a slate-covered octagonal spire with a lead cap.

The George Street front has nine windows arranged in a pattern of 2:2:1:2:2. The central projecting ashlar doorway has an unusual pointed arch flanked by pilasters and brackets that support a gabled hood with a carved shield. Above the doorway are two polished marble roundels with ashlar brackets supporting a moulded hood. On either side of the doorway are two pilasters, with two large windows, each containing three round-headed lights with columns and moulded arches. Above is a continuous fascia board, and the central gable slightly projects, featuring a large cross casement window in an ashlar surround with a pointed relieving arch above. The gable is topped with an ornate iron finial, and on either side are two pairs of pointed arch plain sash windows with columns between and hoodmoulds with carved stops. The attic also features two segment-headed dormer windows with plain sashes and moulded surrounds.

The interior was refitted in the late 20th century.
