The Lord Nelson Public House

The Lord Nelson Public House, located at 52 East Street, is probably from the late 18th century. Originally named The King of Prussia, it may have been built during either the Seven Years or the Napoleonic Wars. In 1914, it briefly changed its name to The King of the Belgians. The building features colour washed brick and a pitched slate roof with coped gables, with No 52 displaying festooned urns above the eaves. It has two storeys and attics, with an eaves cornice made of diagonally placed bricks. There are four ranges of sash windows with glazing bars and two attic dormers with casements. No 54 has a modern shopfront and planked double doors with a semi-circular fanlight. No 52 includes a dentilled 19th-century shop window and a six-panel door with a semi-circular fanlight. The inner door is half glazed, featuring engraved glass depicting an equestrian portrait of a 19th-century Prussian King, possibly Frederick William II or III.
