Black Lion Public House

The Black Lion Public House is a public house built around 1898, designed by R.A. Lewcock, with interior carved panels by F.T. Callcott. It features red brick with stone dressings and a pink and grey granite frontage, topped with a slated roof, and is styled in the Flemish Gothic manner. The building has a rectangular plan and is situated on a corner site.

The exterior consists of three storeys with a single-storey extension to the right. It has four windows, a bowed window at the angle, and a four-window left-hand return. The ground floor is arcaded, with pilasters and part-glazed double doors leading to the main road. The windows and doors have etched glass. The upper floors are adorned with brick pilasters that rise to support an entablature with a projecting cornice, topped by an arcaded balustrade featuring cartouches and finials. The fenestration is irregular, with transoms and mullions, including a bowed bay and a canted bay on the first floor, most of which have scrolled pediments. The left return has two-light casements with glazing bars in the upper light, and the first floor features scrolled pediments. The bowed windows on the first and second floors at the angle culminate in a lantern with an ogee cupola and a weathervane finial. The extension includes a wide four-centred arch window and an arcaded balustrade with a modified scroll pediment that has a lion mask and a plaque inscribed "The Black Lion rebuilt 1898."

Inside, the pub retains its original U-shaped bar, which serves two rooms divided by a glass and wood screen. There are mirrored fixtures and fittings, as well as fireplaces with mirrored overmantels. The two main bars feature a deep, gilded Adam style plaster frieze, a plasterwork ceiling with medallions, and several gilded bas relief plaques on the walls created by Callcott. The extension room is illuminated by three lanterns, each with a deep Adam style frieze at the base, and a similar wall frieze to the bars.
