The Three Blackbirds Public House

The Three Blackbirds Public House is an inn, now functioning as a public house, with origins dating back to the 16th century or earlier for the west wing, and a 17th-century eastern range that was refronted in brick during the 18th century. The building features a 19th-century porch and a jetty on the crosswing that has been underbuilt. It is constructed with a timber frame, where the wing is roughcast and has a red brick casing on the ground floor, which is painted on the west side. The eastern range is made of red brick in Flemish bond, topped with steep old red tile roofs.

This two-storey building with a cellar forms an L-shaped corner block facing north. The internal chimney of the two-cell eastern range rises through the front roofslope, with the entrance located at the junction with the projecting eastern wing that extends to the rear. This wing has four bays and features a lateral external chimney on the northern part and an internal gable chimney at the southern end.

The northern front showcases a projecting gabled wing on the right-hand side, which includes a four-light casement window on the first floor and a three-light casement window beneath a segmental arch on the ground floor. There is a lean-to brick porch at the angle with a half-glazed four-panel flush-beaded door. Additionally, there is a four-light casement window on both the first and ground floors next to the porch, along with a plat-band, plinth, and a corbelled course with projecting headers at the eaves. The building also features a projecting swinging sign with two blind recesses on the first floor to the left and a four-panel flush bead door with a flat hood on brackets, accompanied by a three-light casement window under a segmental arch.

The irregular west flank wall includes a cross-window on the first floor and other small-paned fixed lights. Inside, the building has exposed timbers, with the framed eastern wall of the wing opened up as a screen in the bar. There is a mason-mitred crossbeam with a chamfered knee-brace in the first wing, and a chamfered axial beam in the eastern range that may have been inserted. A staircase is located in the rear angle of the wings.
