The Bold Forester Public House

The Bold Forester is a public house, originally dating to 1709 and extended around the early 18th century, with further alterations in the 20th century. It is constructed of Flemish bond red brick with vitrified headers and a corbelled brick eaves cornice, topped with a clay tile roof with gabled and half-hipped ends. Brick axial and gable-end stacks are present.

The building’s original layout comprised a two-room plan with a central entrance and an outshut to the rear. A further one-room plan extension was added to the southwest end in the early 18th century. Public house accommodation was expanded into outbuildings at the rear during the 20th century.

The southeast front has an asymmetrical facade with three windows. The bay to the left is the early 18th-century addition. It contains two and three-light casement windows with glazing bars; the ground floor windows have cambered arches. A glazed door sits to the right of centre, and a plank door is on the left, both protected by canopies supported on shaped brackets. The eaves cornice above the right-hand doorway is inscribed in yellow brick, "P.P, x 1709." A gabled porch is located on the left (southwest) end. The rear features an integral outshut with two flat-roofed dormers above.

Inside, the main range on the right has had its ground-floor partition removed. It features a chamfered cross-beam on the left and an unchamfered cross-beam on the right, along with exposed unchamfered joists. The rebuilt fireplace on the right has a wooden lintel. The southwest addition has a chamfered cross-beam, exposed unchamfered joists, and a fireplace with a partly chamfered timber bressumer. The original roof structure includes purlins supported on struts, and common rafters with a ridgeboard.
