The Anchor

The Anchor is a detached public house built in the early to mid 19th century. It features stone walls that are rendered and painted, topped with a slate roof that has gable ends and a lower gable at the left front. There are brick stacks located at the ridge center and the right-hand gable. The building has two storeys and includes four windows, which are two-light and three-light cast-iron casements. These casements have cast-iron glazing bars arranged in octagons, with 14 octagons per casement, and retain their original glass. Above all the windows, there are stone labels that are returned (pointed) in a late medieval style, and the windows have wooden cills.

On the left side of the upper storey, there is an oriel window with canted sides, featuring a hollow-profile coving supported by a head-corbel. This window has fixed glazing bars arranged in a pattern of even panel-tracery and is covered by a pent roof. The front door, which is two-leaf and studded, is located left of center and dates from the 20th century.

Attached to the right end of the main block is a single-storey public bar, which has a curving end wall and a crenellated parapet. This section features three-light wooden casements with lead lights in the same octagonal pattern, and it has the same two-leaf door at the party wall with the main block. The richness of the fenestration, particularly the oriel window, makes The Anchor an important building in the street.
