Description
The Elephant Public House, along with nos 33 and 35, features a terrace row that was initially constructed between 1829 and 1830 and completed by 1841. The building has undergone extensions and alterations in the mid-19th century and again in 1918. It is made of rendered brick and has a slate roof that has been replaced with inappropriate concrete tiles. The structure is two storeys high with basements and a parapet at the roof, which has four stacks arranged from left to right, plus an additional stack projecting at the centre left.
The first floor retains much of its original terrace character, featuring six glazing bar sash windows and two oversized late 20th-century top-hung casements on the right. The ground floor of the public house was built out in the mid-19th century and is a single storey on a plinth with a parapet. It includes three half-glazed doors and a central pair of plate windows flanked by a central colonette. To the right, a 1918 extension displays a rusticated baroque style with pilasters, a scrolled segmentally pedimented parapet, and a columned pier between the plate window and half-glazed door.
The ground floor of the adjacent houses features a single glazing bar sash and a replacement casement window at No 35, along with panelled and half-glazed doors in semi-circular headed surrounds, both accessed by flights of steps with simple iron rails. The railed basement areas have simple spear-headed rails, with basements that include casement windows and half-glazed doors. The first houses were built by local carpenter John Venner, with the remaining houses completed by 1841, and by 1842, part of the building was converted to a brewhouse and registered as the French Horn public house by 1868. This building is included for its group value.
