Description
The Queen's Head Public House is a late 18th century building, originally constructed as a residence for James Robinson around 1775. It is made of red brick and features a U-shaped plan with two storeys. The front range is three storeys high and constructed in Flemish bond, showcasing horned sash windows that are clear-glazed with a 3 over 2 configuration, along with a central front door. The two rear wings have thinly barred hornless sash windows, with 4-pane units positioned above 8-pane units, all set in wide exposed boxes. The building has two red brick chimney stacks, one at each end of the front range and two at the ends of the rear wings. The roof is covered with peg tiles, featuring ridges and gables.
