Description

The Pickerel Inn is an early 19th-century building located at 30 Magdalene Street. It is three storeys high, constructed of gault brick with a slate roof. The top floor features four windows, while the first floor has three windows, all with segmental heads and without glazing bars. On the right side, there is a tall carriageway with a projecting wrought-iron bracket that holds a central lamp. The rear wing of the inn is much older, dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, and is timber-framed and plastered. Inside, there are some 17th-century paneling and many features from the 18th century. The Pickerel Inn is part of a group with Nos 13 to 18 and Nos 20 to 31 on the same street.

Local climate

The Pickerel Inn sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 82% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
