The Talbot Public House And Attached Stable

The Talbot Public House and attached stable is an inn, now functioning as a public house, built around 1770-1780. It is constructed of squared and coursed limestone with gabled artificial stone slate roofs and features two brick ridge stacks. The building has a four-unit plan and stands two storeys high with a four-window range.

There is a keyed cambered arch above a 20th-century door, which has a stone bracketed flat hood and an illegible date plaque above it. The door is flanked by canted bay windows that contain 8-pane sash windows, and there are keyed flat stone arches over 20th-century two-light casements. To the right, there is a taller, likely mid-18th century, two-storey bay made from similar materials, which also has keyed flat stone arches over its two-light casements. The stable range to the left is built from similar materials as well. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is likely to be of interest. The Talbot was probably built as an inn around the same time as the construction of Swinford Bridge in 1776.
