Description
The King's Head is an inn built around 1870. It features a painted brick exterior and a plain tiled roof. The building stands three storeys high on a plinth, with decorative dog-tooth plat bands and a brick corbelled and dogtooth cornice beneath the hipped roof, which has stacks at the left, center, and right. On the second and first floors, there are four pairs of sash windows, each with a central shaft and a gauged and moulded semi-circular head. The ground floor has two similar pairs of sash windows in the center. To the left, there is a half-glazed door with sidelights set in a moulded semi-circular arched surround. A basket-arched carriage entry leads to the rear courtyard on the right.
