Westmoreland Arms Public House

The Westmoreland Arms is a public house, likely built around 1790 to 1800, and subsequently altered to its present form around 1830 to 1840. It is stucco faced, with the ground floor of the return to Manchester Street partly channelled. The roof is covered with slate. The building is four storeys high, with a basement to the Manchester Street return. The main facade is five window bays wide, while the return is four. The ground floor features a wooden public house front with slender pilasters topped with decorative capitals. This fronts double doors and bar windows with panel detailing, all supported by an entablature and fascia with a decorative cornice. The upper floors have recessed sash windows within architrave surrounds, although two bays are blind. The pub’s name is incised between the second and third floors. A cornice and blocking course top the building. The return to Manchester Street displays a single bay of the pub front and similarly placed windows, one bay being blind. Cast iron area railings with urn finials are present. The building is listed primarily for its group value.
