Description

The Jolly Fisherman Public House is a public house that dates from the 18th century or earlier. It was extended and given its current appearance around 1843 when its name changed from the George and Dragon to the Railway Tavern, and it became known as the Jolly Fisherman in 1948. The site was part of the Baesh Charity from 1636 to 1918, and it is noted that a row of cottages was replaced by the present building in 1736.

This long, L-shaped, two-storey building has its main range facing north. It is constructed of stucco, likely over a timber frame, and features a steep old red tile roof. The structure has five bays with cross-beams, and an axial beam in the wider eastern bay. There are internal gable chimneys and a small central chimney. The symmetrical front has five windows, with a central door set in a thickened stuccoed panel, and one-storey canted bay windows at each end. The windows are sash style.

At the rear, there is a shallow two-storey mid-19th century lean-to made of grey brick with dentilled eaves, a slate roof, and two-light cast iron casements. Additionally, there is a lower two-storey gabled rear wing on the southeast, which has a slate one-storey lean-to on the south side.
