Description
The British Lion Public House, located at 9 Estcourt Street, is an early 18th-century building featuring three storeys with red brick rough cast painted fronts. The adjacent properties, Nos 10 and 11, have a rendered painted finish. The building has plain rendered strips that flank and divide the frontages. The British Lion Public House has three windows, while Nos 10 and 11 each have two windows. All windows are sashes with intact glazing bars, set in moulded flush frames with thin sills.
On the ground floor of the British Lion, there is a chamfered edge surround to the yard entry with double doors. It also features two 19th-century canted bays with three lights each, which are sash windows with later glazing bars, shallow moulded cornices, and rendered coursed bases. The central entrance is a six-panel door within an architrave surround, topped with a flat hood-cornice supported by cut brackets. The ground floor of Nos 10 and 11 has a shop front dating from around 1900, with two plate glass windows that are splayed towards the door, and a fascia flanked by fluted capped brackets. There is a modern doorway to the right. The building has a gable end roof covered with pantiles.
Nos 1 to 16 on Estcourt Street form a group of buildings of architectural interest.
