Red Lion Public House

The Red Lion Public House is a public house built by order of the Town Council in 1837 and restored in 1960. It features a cut flint exterior with a gault brick front under a slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. The central entrance includes a glazed door with side lights, framed by a pair of fluted pilasters and topped with a triglyph frieze. There are canted bays on both the right and left, fitted with sash windows that have 2/1 glazing bars. On the first floor, a central tripartite window with 6/6 and 4/4 glazing is set behind a curving balustrade, flanked by 6/6 sash windows with gauged skewback arches. The hipped roof has two symmetrical stacks on the front slope. A two-storey wing extends down Well Street, although it has been somewhat modified internally. Inside, the main layout includes a bar to the right and left of the principal block, with details from the 20th century.
