The Golden Fleece

The Golden Fleece is a public house dating from the mid-19th century. It features a limestone ashlar front with coursed and squared returns and a slate roof. The building has a symmetrical wide span gabled block, with the roof sweeping down to a shallow projection at the rear, and a long narrow single-storey gabled wing to the left.

The exterior comprises two storeys and a basement, with sash windows. On the first floor, there are paired plain sash windows with flush stone mullions and a raised central panel inscribed with "THE GOLDEN FLEECE, LAMB ALES AND STOUT." The ground floor has a central triple light in a shallow square bay with a pediment, flanked by a single sash window. The entrance features part-glazed panelled doors with a transom light, set on three stone steps within a moulded surround with a peaked head. The building has a double plinth, a mid-string to an ovolo bed-mould, a moulded cornice, a shallow blocking course, and a parapet. There is a small square stack off-centre to the right, forward of the ridge. The return gable is plain, and the rear has various four-pane sash windows and a small square eaves stack.

The interior was not inspected, and the pub was closed at the time of inspection in 2003. This pub is the end property in a modest domestic row, where much of the surrounding structures have been demolished.
