Former Peel Arms Hotel

The Former Peel Arms Hotel is a building that dates from the mid-18th century, with an early 19th-century extension. It is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and features a tile roof, with a hipped slate roof on the extension and brick stacks. The building is designed in a Georgian style and has an L-plan layout with a later wing on the left side.

The hotel has two storeys with an attic and a five-window range. It features a brick plinth and boxed eaves. The entrance is located at the left end in a blocked elliptical-arched carriageway, which has a doorcase with a pediment and steps leading to recessed paired two-panel doors. There is a large cross-axial stack and an end stack. The windows have rubbed brick flat arches above twelve-pane sashes, and the attic includes two flat-roofed and two gabled dormers.

The extension is two storeys high with a four-window range, also featuring a brick plinth and a simple top cornice. The left end has a canted angle with an entrance and a window to the left, both within an attached distyle Ionic colonnade; the entrance is blocked and the window is partly blocked. The windows have sills and rubbed brick flat arches over sixteen-pane sashes on the ground floor, and 4/8-pane top-hung casements on the first floor. There is a basement opening, two cross-axial stacks, and an end stack.

The left return facing Silver Street has a window in the former entrance with an Ionic doorcase and two boarded windows. The rear of the building has a wing with an M-roof and varied fenestration, including some casements with pegged frames. The right return features an early 20th-century bow window with a tile lintel and flat cornice, along with a segmental-headed window with paired sashes, and some sashed windows on the rear of the extension.

The interior has not been inspected but may contain features of interest.
