Birch And Billycock Public House

The Birch and Billycock public house, formerly the Warwick Hotel, was built around 1855 and subsequently altered. It is a three-storey building constructed of pinkish-brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a Welsh slate roof and a cast-iron lamp bracket. The main facade has a central entrance with three steps leading to a plate glass door, framed by a tooled architrave and consoles supporting a pediment. The ground and first floors feature 6/6 sash windows, while the second floor has 3/3 sashes; all are set within plain reveals and topped with flat, rusticated arches containing central keystones. The roof is hipped, with end and ridge stacks. The left-hand facade includes two ground-floor canted bay windows with 6/6 sashes flanked by 2/2 sashes and pilasters; otherwise, the fenestration mirrors the main facade. Above the entrance is a decorative lamp bracket curving outwards. The interior has not been inspected.
