Description

The Seven Stars Public House is a public house built around 1800, with a re-fronting in the late 19th century and a lean-to extension at the rear. A further, taller extension was added to the right in 1912. The earlier part of the building is constructed from rendered local stone, while the later part is made of rendered brick, both topped with slate roofs. The building features end stacks on the left side of the earlier section and on the gable of the 1912 extension.

The public house has three storeys and a three-bay façade on the earlier part. The ground floor has channelled rendering between the windows, a three-sided bay window on the right, and two additional windows, one with a 2/2 sash and the other a 3-light casement. The detailing of the casement window and the top lights of the bay window is similar to that of the 1912 extension. The upper floors have raised quoins, and there is a balcony supported by iron brackets and railings between the ground and first floors. The second floor features 2/2 sash windows with raised surrounds, with the middle window being smaller. The third storey has 2/2 sash windows on the sides and a blind recess in the center. A long, painted timber board at the eaves level displays the name of the public house. There are panelled doors to the right of the earlier part and to the left of the 1912 extension, along with a 2-light shop front window from 1912. The first floor has two 2/2 sash windows, and the third floor includes a three-sided oriel window beneath a half-timbered gable set on brackets.

Inside, there is a corridor with a door leading to the public bar immediately on the left, which has a serving hatch behind it. The public bar features a counter with longitudinal rectangular panels, though the console brackets are missing, and there is simple shelving behind. Fixed seating is located under the windows, and the walls and ceiling are finished with match board panelling. The rear room also has match board dado panelling.

The building serves as an important visual landmark on The Moor and is a rare example of a public house that retains its late 19th-century layout and fittings.
