Description
The Queen's Arms Hotel is a public house located on Broad Street in Hereford. It features shops and dwellings that date from the late 18th century and early 19th century, with an earlier core. The building is constructed of painted brick and has a Welsh slate gable roof, with brick stacks on the left and at the rear.
The exterior consists of three storeys, an attic, and a cellar, arranged in a two-window range. The windows include 8/8 sash windows, with 20th-century paired 2/2 sashes above, all set under gauged brick flat arches. To the right, there is a tier of 20th-century plain sashes. The left side showcases a 19th-century public house front, featuring a two-panel door with an overlight that has glazing bars, along with 20th-century windows and earlier casement clerestories. This section also includes panelling and a fascia board with a frieze, cornice, and moulded hood, returning to the left where there is a two-leaf panelled door and overlight that is partially blocked. To the right, a 19th-century shop front includes a glazed panelled door, a casement overlight, and a panelled soffit, situated between canted plate glass windows with moulded glazing shafts, along with a fascia board and moulded hood supported by consoles.
At the rear of No. 4, there is a late 16th-century wing constructed of timber-frame and plaster, with a late 18th-century brick stack. This section features various plain and 2/2 sashes. The rear of No. 5 has a gable wing with a steep-pitched roof and a late 18th-century brick stack.
Inside, the first floor includes a 6-panel door, exposed 17th-century timber-framing with a jowelled post, 19th-century plank doors, a 4-panel door, and a 19th-century wall cupboard with architraves. The second floor features 20th-century windows and architraves, along with probable timber-framing. The cellar is lined with masonry, stone, and brick, and has a chamfered ceiling beam. There is also a 19th-century winder stair with stick balusters leading to the second floor, which has an exposed beaded ceiling beam and an exposed post.
