64, Banning Street

This is a house, originally built in the early 18th century, and later used as a public house. It comprises two main ranges, with a 19th-century function room added to the south side, and some window replacements. The front range is of brick, now painted, and features a hipped roof with a brick chimney rising from the left side. It has two storeys and three windows, the central one being blank, with the others being 19th-century six-pane sash windows. The ground floor has two cambered Yorkshire-type sliding casements and a central cambered doorcase containing a 20th-century door. A tall, hipped-roof function room is attached to the south gable, with a paired sash window featuring vertical glazing bars and horns, and a tall, blocked cambered doorcase. A further range extends to the rear, with a gabled tiled roof, a brick chimneystack, 19th-century cambered casements, and a rear outshot with a slate roof.

The front room on the ground floor retains an 18th-century wooden fire surround with panelling, vertical pine boards, and fixed bar benches on two walls. It is divided from the adjacent function room by lightweight, late 19th-century tongue and groove pine panelling. The ground floor also contains early 18th-century fielded two-panelled doors with left-hand hinges, and late 18th and 19th-century matchboard panelling. The rear extension was originally a stable, retaining its original hay manger. A cellar, dating from the early to mid 18th century, includes a single arched wall niche for a lamp or candle. Some floor joists are reused from an earlier structure, showing traces of smoke-blackening. The first floor has simple two-panelled early 18th-century doors in at least two rooms. The rear range retains significant portions of its original 18th-century roof structure, with triangular plates within the rafter assembly holding the ridge boards. The front range roof was largely replaced by Strong and Co Brewery prior to the building's conversion into a private house. Historically, the building was a public house known as the Bricklayers Arms, operating as such by the 19th century. Details of its history before that time are currently unknown.

The building is a substantially complete early 18th-century structure with internal features reflecting its earlier use as a public house.
