Black Horse Public House

The Black Horse Public House occupies a corner site on George Street, with a return onto Castle Street. It likely originated in the latter part of the 18th century, but was refaced and altered in the early 19th century. The two-storey and attic building is faced in stucco. The front to George Street has two windows, while the front to Castle Street has three. The roof is slate, with a gable end and a hipped section. A gabled bay projecting from the George Street elevation contains one window. The George Street front has an attic window with a sash and later glazing bars; a first-floor bay window of three lights with later glazing bars, plain strips, a frieze and cornice, plain apron and a recessed sash with later glazing bars, both with block sills; and a ground-floor sash window with later glazing bars in a moulded frame, with a thin block sill. The bar entrance is located across the corner, incorporating double doors of four fielded panels within a roll-moulded frame and centre post. The wall above this entrance is splayed and curves upwards to rejoin the right angle of the first floor. The first bay of the Castle Street elevation features sash windows with later glazing bars in moulded frames; the other windows have recessed sash windows with intact glazing bars and block sills. A recessed door of four fielded panels, with a moulded case, is flanked by pilasters with brackets supporting a broken pediment.
