Description
The George Hotel, also known as Box O Chicken, is a late 17th century inn featuring a 19th century street facade and is arranged in an L-plan. It is connected to a flat-roofed two-storey range by a cartway to the west. The building has two storeys and is constructed of local brick that is rendered to mimic masonry joints. It has a steeply pitched slate roof.
On the first floor, there is a large 19th century splayed bay window with four hung sashes, flanked by two casement windows in moulded wooden frames. The ground floor includes two windows, one of which is a splayed bay with hung sashes. The rear wing has modern tiled roofs and is made of painted local brick, with a band between the floors.
A ridge stack with three square shafts of early red brick is partly rebuilt. There is also a two-storey stair turret with a hipped roof located at the angle of the two ranges, featuring three hung sash windows with glazing bars and a 19th century splayed bay.
