23 Westgate (formerly Blue Man Public House)

This building is an inn, constructed in the early 18th century and extended in the mid-19th century, later converted into a restaurant around 2008. The building is fronted with painted render, likely over brickwork, and has a concrete tile roof. It is arranged on a C-shaped plan, with the original part facing Westgate to the west, and two additional ranges running east along the north and south boundaries of the plot. A single-storey extension adjoins the northernmost bay of the front range.

The principal, west-facing range is four bays wide, with a gable end facing Welby Street. The main entrance is in the third bay, featuring a simple timber door frame and a 20th-century six-panelled door. A large, square window with a moulded timber surround is in the southernmost bay, while to the north of the doorway is a tripartite, fixed window with a segmental-arched head. The first floor has three equally sized window openings containing two-over-two sash windows, and a fourth window is blocked over the doorway. There are three dormers with pitched roofs supported by moulded timber brackets, each containing a three-over-three sash window. Chimney stacks rise from the gable ends and in line with the northern jamb of the main entrance. A three-sided, single-storey extension with a hipped roof projects from the northernmost bay, abutting the building's north gable and featuring 20th-century timber or steel casement windows.

The south elevation (on Welby Street) of the front range contains a plain doorway in the western bay and a timber sash window on the ground and first floors of the eastern bay. The mid-19th century range fronting Welby Street is four bays wide and slightly taller. The ground floor has a blocked window opening, two 20th-century fixed windows with vents, and a late 20th-century timber and glazed shopfront. The first floor has four evenly-spaced windows with segmental-arched heads, with renewed timber sashes in the two western windows, and a fifth, flat-headed opening containing a small, late 20th-century casement. Four small, late 20th-century casement windows are in the attic, breaking through the corbelled eaves brickwork. Two rendered chimney stacks rise through the roof ridge. The rear gable of this range has been significantly altered and contains a series of late 20th-century windows, a plain doorway, and a large extraction chimney associated with a takeaway.
