Description
The New Inn is a public house located on Northgate Street in Bury St Edmunds, dating from around 1860, although it stands on an earlier site. The building is constructed of white brick and has a slate roof. It is two storeys high with a cellar and is situated on a corner site. Each facade features a three-window range, with all windows being sashes that have a single vertical bar set in shallow reveals, topped with flat gauged arches. There is a raised stucco band beneath the first storey windows and plain corner pilasters. The entrance doors are half-glazed and framed with wood architraves, which have flat cornice hoods supported by ornate console brackets. On the north front, there is also a plain rectangular fanlight.
Attached to the south-east corner of the building is a short section of garden wall that connects to the north-east corner of No. 41. This wall is made of coursed flint mixed with brick and stone, featuring a ramped brick coping. Inside, there are no visible features from before 1860, except for the cellar, which has some coursed flint walling and stone blocks. The New Inn is part of a significant group of buildings on Northgate Street and is included for its group value.
