Description
No. 8 George Street is a former nonconformist Unitarian chapel built in 1790, which was converted into a public house in 1801. The building is constructed of stone rubble with brick dressings, although it was likely originally covered in stucco. It features bitumen-grouted slate roofs with slightly projecting eaves and a moulded wooden pediment at the front end of the main roof and the porch roof. The chapel has a rectangular aisle-less plan, which probably included galleries originally, and there is a small 20th-century flat-roofed single-storey extension on the left-hand side.
The two-storey elevations display three windows on the left-hand side and two on the entrance front. The first-floor windows are round with glazing bars and pivot-opening centres. The main pediment has a blind oval that was formerly dated 1801, and there is a spoked glazed lunette on the porch pediment with a plaque dated 1790 beneath it. The ground-floor windows are blocked, with two flanking a wide central doorway in the porch and one visible on the left-hand return. The entrance features 20th-century panelled doors. The interior has been remodelled in the 20th century.
