The Elephant And Castle Hotel

The Elephant and Castle Hotel is an inn dated 1734, which was remodeled in the early 19th century. It features rendered brick on a grey sandstone ashlar plinth and has a slate roof that is hipped to the right. The building is L-shaped and consists of two storeys. Architectural details include a plinth, a dentil brick eaves cornice, and stone-coped parapeted gable ends. There is an integral brick stack at the front on the left, an external brick end stack on the right-hand return, and three stacks at the rear. The hotel has four bays with glazing bar sashes. In the second bay from the right, there is a pair of late 20th-century doors beneath a stuccoed Doric or Tuscan porch, which was damaged at the time of the survey in January 1986. This porch features a three-part rectangular overlight above. Above the doors, there is a painted datestone with a relief of an elephant and castle, inscribed with the date "1734". The right-hand return front has three bays and includes an inserted late 20th-century half-glazed door to the right.
