Description

The George Railway Hotel is a railway hotel that has been converted into a public house, built around 1870. It features a rendered exterior with limestone dressings, lateral stacks, and a half-hipped pantile mansard roof. The building has a double-depth plan, consisting of 2 storeys and an attic, and presents a six-window range. It occupies a corner site with a three-window curved left-hand corner and an eight-window left return. The nearly symmetrical front is framed by banded pilaster strips that run through sill bands, a plat band cornice, and a parapet. The central three-window section is set forward and includes a banded first floor with a niche containing a figure of Queen Victoria, along with the name "THE GEORGE RAILWAY HOTEL" displayed beneath the cornice.

There are doorways with 20th-century doors at each end, with the left doorway positioned between two small windows. The ground-floor windows are linked by raised Gibbs blocks, featuring keyed segmental heads, while the first-floor windows have eared and shouldered architraves with large split keys. A tall central dormer is adorned with paired consoles beneath a segmental pediment and a shouldered architrave, accompanied by a semicircular-arched dormer to the left and on the corner. The windows are 4/4-pane horned sashes. The left return mirrors this design, with a statueless two-window centre section and six dormers flanking the central one. The pilaster strips framing the corner also form lateral stacks.

Inside, the hotel has a 20th-century public house interior. It is one of the few large, decorative late Victorian public houses remaining in the city.
