The Black Lion Public House

The Black Lion Public House dates to circa 1700. It is a two-storey building with an attic, originally comprising two houses. The building has eight windows on the first floor and a front door with six ground-floor windows. It is constructed of red brick, featuring decorative blue brick headers. A brick plinth is present, with cement rendering on the left side. The roof is steeply pitched and tiled, with six gabled dormers, and includes largely restored tall chimney stacks. A deep, moulded eaves cornice is visible, and the join between the original two houses is evident within the brickwork. The first floor retains transomed and mullioned casement windows with glazing bars. The ground floor windows are replacement sashes with glazing bars, set within shallow segmental gauged brick arches. A brick string runs along the first floor, mirroring the segmental curve of the window arches. Four steps lead to the plain front door.
