Description
The Lord Hill Hotel is an early 19th-century hotel located on Abbey Foregate in Shrewsbury. It is constructed of brick and features a hipped Welsh slate roof. The building has two storeys and a central section with three windows, flanked by advanced wings that have one and two-window ranges. The central bay is prominent, featuring a pediment and a full-height shallow segmental arched recess that contains a wide doorway, which has been renewed, along with paired six-pane sash windows above. The flanking bays have twelve-pane sash windows with flat-arched gauged brick heads, and there is an inserted doorway on the left side. The long outer wings have nine-pane sash windows on the ground floor and six-pane sash windows above. The front wall of the left-hand wing was entirely rebuilt in the late 20th century. A stuccoed string course runs continuously across the elevation of the main range and wings, and there are axial stacks.
