The Anchor

The Anchor is a public house built in the early 18th century. It features a combination of colourwashed brick, red brick, and flint, topped with a pantiled roof. The building has two early 18th-century wings, with the southern wing shaped like an 'L' and infilled to create a triple pile of two storeys, including an attic in the southern wing.

The main facade faces north and consists of six bays. It has a rendered plinth and a brick platband at the first floor level. There are two 19th-century three-light windows with transoms and segmental brick arches at the ground floor. The entrance door is off-centre, part glazed, with raised and fielded panels, and is sheltered by a modern gabled porch.

At the first floor, there are four 18th-century two-light windows with transoms, single glazing bars, and wrought iron casements, along with blank panels inside the outer windows. The building features corbelled brick eaves and curved gables, with a platband at the first floor level, tie irons, and internal stacks.

The southern wing, which may date back to the 17th century, is constructed of chequered brick and flint. It has sash windows on the west side on each floor, along with a later glazed oculus in the gable. The curved gables on both the east and west sides have moulded brick kneelers and tie irons, as well as a platband at the attic floor level on the west side. The central 19th-century section has a hipped roof to the east and connects to the external gable stack of the north gable of the southern wing.
