Description
The Barge Inn is a public house located on a canal, built in 1856 by S. Robbins and Ben Biggs. It features colourwashed stone with brick dressings and a slate roof, rising two high storeys above cellars. The building consists of two parallel blocks with four bays each. The entrance, located in the second bay, has stone quoins and a part-glazed door with a tall overlight above it. The windows are twelve and sixteen-pane sashes with flush quoined surrounds and brick arches that have raised keystones. There is one large nonconforming window on the ground floor, and the eaves are boxed. Brick stacks are present on all four gables, with an additional stack at the front. The roof was originally topped with a square timber lantern.
The inn was built at the far corner of the parish to serve the Honey Street wharf in Alton parish, which did not permit drinking houses. Inside, the bar on the canal side features a painting on the ceiling and upper walls, added in 1997, depicting henges and tors, the four elements with planets, a green man, and crop patterns on the ceiling.
