Description
The Blackboy Inn is part of a terrace of twelve houses, now shops, dating to circa 1840. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar, with party wall stacks, and the roof is not visible. It follows a double-depth plan.
The terrace is arranged over three storeys, with one window per bay, and steps down the hill, featuring a central pair of four storeys. It extends around the corner, incorporating a 19th-century public house front. To the right is a 19th-century shop front distinguished by green glazed brick sides and a stall front; the remaining shop fronts are 20th-century replacements. The facades are articulated by pilasters extending to a cornice and parapet, with the central pair featuring an additional attic storey and a raised central parapet. The first-floor windows have architraves and cornices, while the second-floor and attic windows are recessed and contain plate-glass sashes. The doorway to the public house has panelled jambs, a cornice, and an overlight above a panelled door. The shop at the end of the terrace, on Lower Redland Road, is set back slightly. The interior has not been inspected.
