The Old Salutation Inn

The Old Salutation Inn is a public house located in East Looe, dating from the 17th century and remodelled in the 18th century. The building features incised stucco on a timber frame with rusticated quoins. It has a steep rag slate hipped front roof with projecting eaves and exposed rafter ends, along with rendered rubble end stacks. The rear wing has a steep asbestos slate roof with a hipped canted rear end and two rendered rubble lateral stacks. The inn is two storeys high and has a two-window range. It includes early 19th-century hornless sash windows with glazing bars, featuring a 20-pane sash on the left and a wide 24-pane sash at the first floor right, directly above a wider early 19th-century three-light shopfront with twelve panes per light and a simple moulded entablature. The central doorway is pilastered.

Inside, the room on the right extends the full depth of five bays and contains 17th-century axial beams and joists, with the ends of the beams supported by later reused ships' timbers. The fireplace in the former front room features a rare late 18th-century cast-iron double horseshoe grate.
