Description
The Three Pilchards Inn is a public house dating from around the mid-18th century. It is constructed of painted stone rubble and features a slate roof with gable ends. A large stone rubble chimney stack is located on the left-hand gable end. The building has a single depth plan consisting of two rooms with a cross passage. It stands two storeys tall and has a regular three-window front. On the ground floor, there is a 20th-century two-light casement window to the left and a 20th-century three-light casement window to the right, both with glazing bars. The entrance, located between the windows, has a panelled door. The first floor features three late 19th-century four-pane sash windows. The ground rises towards the rear. The interior has not been inspected. A photograph taken by Lewis Harding around 1860 shows the inn and an adjoining house, with fish scales and a market directly in front on the harbour side.
