Dog And Doublet Inn

The Dog and Doublet Inn is a canal-side public house built in the late 18th century to early 19th century, with some 19th-century additions. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick and features a painted brick dentil cornice. The roof is made of old plain tiles and has corbelled gables, with brick stacks at each end. The building has a central staircase plan and wings extending towards the canal at the rear. It stands three storeys tall with a high basement and has three bays.

The symmetrical front includes a six-panelled door with panelled reveals and a fanlight, framed by a moulded rendered doorcase with Tuscan half-columns, paterae, and an open pediment. Brick and stone stairs lead to the left, with a landing that has railings. To the left, there is a segmental-arched cellar door. The sash windows are topped with moulded rendered segmental arches featuring ornamented key and impost blocks. The low second floor has six-pane sashes without arches, and the central bays are blind. There is a small altered 19th-century range to the left and altered gabled ranges at the rear. The building is situated on the bank of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal.
