Description

The Locomotive Public House is a building that dates from the mid 17th century and late 18th century. It was originally two separate buildings. The structure features a combination of brick and timber framing with plaster. The 17th-century section has a roof covered in red plain tiles, while the later part is topped with grey slate. The building has a five-window range of double-hung sash windows with glazing bars on the first floor, and three similar windows on the ground floor.

Local climate

The Locomotive Public House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 75% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 70% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
