Description

The Druid's Head Public House is a building dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. It features a three-storey, five-bay front that is characteristic of the early to mid-18th century. The ground floor has a late 19th-century pub front with pilasters and a carriageway on the right leading to the rear. The upper floors are constructed of red brick with blue brick headers, and there are stucco bands at each floor level, along with yellow flat gauged brick arches above the first-floor windows. The windows are flush-framed barred sash types. The building has a tiled roof concealed behind a parapet and includes two dormers. The rear wall dates from the late 17th century and is made of red brick, featuring a band at the second-floor level and two mullioned and transomed timber windows on the second floor. Inside, there are well-preserved features from the early 18th century, including a turned baluster open well staircase, heavily moulded plaster ceilings above the staircase, and timber panelling in the first-floor front room, along with some moulded cornices, fireplaces, and doors.
