The Red Lion Hotel

The Red Lion Hotel is an 18th-century building located on the north side of West Street. It is constructed of yellow brick with red brick dressings, quoins, and rubber voussoirs, topped with a hipped tile roof and a hammer-dressed Purbeck stone plinth. The hotel has two storeys and attics, featuring brick oversailing courses at the eaves and giant pilasters at each end.

The façade includes three ranges of sash windows with glazing bars and keystones, along with three modern attic dormers. The entrance features double doors with six panels (four of which are fielded) and a semi-circular fanlight, set in reveals with fielded panelling. The doorcase is adorned with fluted Doric pilasters supporting a full entablature and an open pediment decorated with strapwork in the soffit.

To the west, there is a red brick extension that has one range of round-arched sashes with glazing bars, keystones, and plain impost blocks. Further to the west is a chequer brick extension with two ranges of flush-framed cased sashes with glazing bars, along with a flush-panelled segment-headed door. The east elevation features four ranges of sashes with glazing bars and rubber voussoirs, a late 19th-century neo-Georgian doorcase, and 12-panelled gates with spikes in a depressed-arched carriage entrance with plain imposts and a keystone. There are also four modern attic dormers.

The Red Lion Hotel forms a group with the buildings numbered 2 to 12 (even).
