Description
6 and 8 Crowe Street is a former public house, known as The White Hart, now used as offices. It dates from the late 16th century and features a plastered and colourwashed timber frame with a machine tile roof. The building has two storeys and attics, with a street-facing range of three bays. The central section has two tall gables that slightly jet out. The ground floor includes a 20th-century door flanked by two 20th-century three-light casements on either side. The doorcase is also from the 20th century. On the first floor, there are three 18th-century sash windows with 8/8 glazing bars and flush frames. Each gable above has one replaced 4/8 sash window. The roof is gabled with one internal gable-end stack on both the north and south sides. At the rear, there is a two-storey cross wing that has 17th-century origins, along with a 20th-century addition at the angle between the two ranges. Inside, the frame features jowled principal studs and wave-moulded bridging beams on the ground floor. The roof consists of diminished principals, clasped purlins, and collars.
