Description
Grove Tavern is an 18th-century L-shaped building located at No. 34 Little Mount Sion. The main section has two storeys and attics, featuring a tile-hung upper level and a pebble-dashed ground floor. It has a tiled mansard roof and one sash window with intact glazing bars. The entrance includes modern bar fronts and a door. The portion set back to the left may be of a later date, also with a tiled roof and one modern sash window that retains its glazing bars. The pub has modern fronts, and there is a cobbled surface just outside the door. Nos 30 to 34 (even) form a group.
