The Miners Arms Public House

The Miners Arms Public House is a public house that was formerly a farmhouse, dating from the mid-17th century. It underwent extensive remodeling in the mid-18th century and has had further extensions added in the 20th century. The building is constructed of regularly coursed squared gritstone, featuring ashlar gritstone dressings with quoins, and has clone gable stacks topped with crested chimney pots. The roof is covered with concrete tiles and has plain gables.

The house has an "L" plan layout, with additional extensions at the west and east ends. The south elevation is two storeys high and consists of three bays. It features a centrally placed doorway with a massive lintel and surround, made of bonded stones at the heads and bases of the jambs. The doorway has a 20th-century planked door. On either side of the doorway are stacked 2-light flush-mullioned windows, which have 20th-century metal side-hung casements with leaded lights. The ground-floor window frames include top-hung pivot lights. Above the doorway is a single-light window on the first floor, which has a flush surround and a 20th-century metal side-hung casement. The east end has a 2-light 17th-century chamfered mullioned window on the ground floor.

The rear range is made of coursed rubble gritstone, which is generally of poorer quality than that of the principal range, but it still features quoins and flush surrounds to altered windows.

Inside, the building has been considerably altered but retains an 18th-century fireplace on the west gable at ground floor level, which has jowelled jambs and a massive lintel. The 18th-century spine beam and joists are exposed, with the spine beam being chamfered and stopped. The ground-floor room on the east side has an exposed spine beam and mortices for now-removed joists with diminished tenons. There is also a recess in the north rear wall with a moulded architrave surround, which was formerly a niche or blocked doorway.
