Description

The Bell Public House is a building likely dating from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of stucco and stands four storeys high with three windows across its facade. The ground floor features a pilastered timber pub front, with plaster corbels on either side above panelled pilasters at the party walls. The upper floors have stucco surrounds around the windows, along with string courses and a cornice. Notably, the top floor displays a plaster relief of a bell in the center.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
