Description

The White Bear is a public house, primarily dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, with a possible earlier core. It is constructed of red brick and gault brick, featuring gabled crosswings on both the right and left sides. The building has a grey slate roof over the central and right sections, while the left range is covered with plain red tiles. It stands two storeys high and has a window arrangement of 1:2:1, consisting of small paned vertical sliding sashes, with shutters on the first floor to the left and right. The ground floor has a central bay wing flanked by boarded doors with two lights. There are red brick chimney stacks on each range. Inside, there are early 19th-century vertical paneling and doors, along with other early 19th-century features.

Local climate

White Bear 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 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 58% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
