George Public House

The George Public House is a pair of houses, formerly a public house and shop, now functioning as a public house and flats. It dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century and underwent alterations and restoration in the late 20th century. The building is finished in painted stucco and features a pair of plain tile hipped roofs with a central brick stack.

The exterior is three storeys high and consists of four bays arranged in a 2/2 pattern. On the right, No. 85 has a ground floor with rusticated quoining. On the left, No. 84 features a 20th-century two-leaf four-panelled door set in a splayed corner, which is part of a mid to late 19th-century public house front. This front includes flanking pilasters with rosettes at the caps, a 20th-century casement window on the right, and a sealed doorway with an overlight, also flanked by similar pilasters, a frieze, and a projecting moulded cornice that returns on the left.

No. 85 has a 20th-century shopfront with a recessed six-panelled door on the right and a shallow tripartite bow on the left. This bow features a central 12-pane sash and flanking 8-pane sashes, along with a frieze and modillion cornice. Both Nos. 84 and 85 have two sashes on the first and second floors, with No. 85 displaying 12-pane sashes with moulded architraves, while No. 84 has a modillion cornice.

The left return of No. 84, which faces Hawke Street, has a cornice band at the first floor that projects over the left-hand door, supported by two ornate brackets. On the right side, there are two bricked-up door openings and two first-floor sashes. The building has seven iron wall ties positioned randomly, with two on the first floor featuring large rounded plates. Further to the left, there is a two-storey extension made of red and grey brick, which includes a four-pane sash under a segmental arch and a 20-pane sash on the first floor, along with a 20th-century attic dormer and a two-storey 20th-century restored and altered boarded extension.
