Description
The Prince of Wales Inn is a mid-18th century building located at 24 Bedford Street. It is two storeys high and constructed of red brick with blue chequering. The building features wooden eaves and a tiled roof. The façade includes three sash windows with glazing bars set in broad, almost flush frames, one of which is on the ground floor and has a canted bay. The entrance door is made up of six panels, four of which are fielded, and is framed by a wooden Doric surround with panelled reveals and soffit. Plain pilasters support an open pediment that encloses a fanlight with radiating glazing bars. To one side, the façade extends into the gable end of an annexed building, which has two similar windows and a subsidiary six-panel door, with the top four panels now glazed, in a frame with small panelled reveals and soffit. The building features red brick, flat arches, and a pedimented gable end. The Prince of Wales Inn is part of a group that includes Nos 24 to 42 (even).
