Description

The Bull's Head Public House in Glossop is a former weaver's house dating back to around 1605, which was rebuilt and extended around 1783 and altered in the 20th century. It is constructed from narrow coursed millstone grit with stone dressings and features stone and Welsh slate roofs, including two stone stacks and a truncated ridge stack, as well as a brick stack at the rear.

The exterior consists of three storeys plus a two-storey wing on the right, which has quoins and a coped gable with kneelers. The street elevation displays a four-window front arranged in a 3:1 configuration. The three-storey late 18th-century block on the left has a doorway to the right with a painted flush surround and a 20th-century door. To the right, there are two 20th-century casement windows, above which are two three-light mullioned casement windows and a wooden pub sign. Above these, there are two similar three-light windows and a single similar two-light casement window to the right. The two-storey 17th-century wing on the right features quoins and a single two-light, originally four-light, chamfered mullion window with casements and a Tudor hoodmould. Above this is a similar window with glazing bars.

The right return showcases a 17th-century gable with a central two-light chamfered mullion window, an inserted 20th-century window to the right, and a blocked doorway to the left. The rear elevation includes a single-storey 20th-century extension. The main building has been heightened, displaying narrow coursed masonry on the ground and first floors, with quoins to the right and coarser masonry above. The late 18th-century block features scattered and varied fenestration, including a single two-light, originally four-light, flush mullioned window on the first floor, along with later inserted windows. There is also a single-storey extension at the ground level.

Inside, the building has chamfered and stopped beams, although the ground floor has undergone significant alterations. The alehouse was recognized in 1787.
