The Newcastle Arms

The Newcastle Arms is a former hotel located in Tuxford, on the west side of Market Place. It dates from the mid-18th century, with an early 19th-century front and late 19th-century alterations. The building is constructed of stucco and features a hipped slate roof with three stucco stacks. It has a cornice and a panelled parapet, and is designed in a quadrangle plan around a courtyard.

The main front is set on a plinth and consists of two storeys with seven bays. The central three bays project slightly. The central doorway has a double glazing bar door flanked by single reeded pilaster strips with patera, and further flanked by single glazing bar marginal lights and additional reeded pilaster strips. Above the doorway is a cornice. The wide Doric porch has two stone steps leading to the doorway and a wrought iron balcony above. On either side of the porch are single late 19th-century canted bays, each with an entablature and three glazing bar sashes. Further left, there are two glazing bar sashes set in reveals, and to the right, a single similar sash and reveal, along with a doorway featuring a panelled door. On the far right is a late 19th-century shop front with a large tripartite cross shop window flanked by single pilasters that support an entablature. Above this, there are seven glazing bar sashes in moulded frames.

The south front, which faces Newcastle Street, has two rendered stacks and is also set on a plinth. It has two storeys and six bays, featuring three glazing bar sashes with a segmental carriage archway to the left, and two additional sashes further left. Above, there is a single glazing bar sash, with three narrower glazing bar sashes to the left, two small sashes, and a single sash with marginal glazing bars further left. Attached to the left is a lower two-storey wing made of whitewashed brick and pantile, which has dentil eaves. This wing includes a single sash with marginal glazing bars and a carriageway with a flat arch. Above the carriageway is a single glazing bar sash with another sash to the left.
