Royal Oak Inn

The Royal Oak Inn is a late 17th century building located on Crown Street. It features a back wing with a wooden cornice adorned with modillions and pargetting on the upper floor. The front of the building, which has characteristics from the 18th century, is two storeys high with attics, constructed from timber framing and plaster, and topped with a modern tiled mansard roof. The first floor has modern windows, while the ground floor includes a central doorway flanked by late 18th century bay windows, one of which lacks glazing bars, and is finished with a continuous moulded cornice. There is an early 19th century doorway with reeded pilasters supporting a projecting cornice. The original 18th century passage doorway features an eight-panelled door. The Royal Oak Inn is part of a group of listed buildings that includes Nos. 1 to 17 (odd), Nos. 21 and 23, as well as Nos. 2 to 6 (even), Nos. 12, 14, 16, and Nos. 20 to 32 (even) Broadway.
