The Golden Lion Public House

The Golden Lion Public House is a public house built between 1897 and 1898. It features a stone-faced exterior and a slate roof, showcasing an ornate and mannerist late Victorian design. The building stands five storeys tall with a dormered mansard roof and has a single bay front. The ground floor includes an original three-light segmental bowed bar window, with a doorway recessed to the right, framed by granite columns and an entablature topped with a heavy stucco balustrade. The first floor has a banded segmental arched window with mullioned lights. A canted bay window extends through the second and third floors, with a semi-circular arched centre light on the third floor. Pilasters flank the elevation, and there is a prominent cornice above the third floor featuring lions flanking scrolls beneath an egg and dart frieze. The open pedimental stone dormer is adorned with obelisks in front of a balustraded parapet.
