Darby and Joan Public House

The Darby and Joan Public House is a public house dating from the early to mid 18th century, which incorporates an earlier building. It features a timber-framed and rendered structure with chequered red brick and plain tiled roofs. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has a double pile plan, with an earlier range incorporated at the rear. The gable and stack are made of chequered brick and have corbelled parapets, with gables and end stacks. The main facade is plastered with a brick plinth and has a moulded wooden eaves cornice with dentil enrichment. The entrance is approached by stone steps and features an 18th-century pedimented doorcase with a six-raised and fielded panelled door. There are two ground floor and three first floor twelve-paned flush-framed hung sash windows, along with three hipped casement dormer windows. Inside, there is an original closed string staircase with turned balusters and newels. The rear wing is believed to be the surviving part of the Pigott Cower house, and the Darby and Joan Public House was recorded in 1835.
