Description

Number 1 is a former house or workshop and inn, dating to the late 17th and early 18th centuries, with alterations in the early 19th century. It is now a single house. The building is constructed of limestone rubble and dressings, with ashlar detailing, a large brick ridge stack and a stone slate roof, hipped to the south end. It has a single-depth plan, with a south-facing former inn attached to the south end of a west-facing house.

The south-facing range has two windows and five windows to the left-hand return. The front, facing Bristol Street, includes a right-hand doorway with a half-glazed door, and timber lintels over large eight-over-twelve-pane sash windows in exposed boxes. There is also a hipped casement dormer window. The left-hand return is windowless. The rear range has a lower roofline and includes a right-hand doorway with a half-glazed door, a full-width timber lintel over ashlar piers between altered windows, varied ground-floor sash windows, and four first-floor four-over-eight-pane sash windows with rubble infill beneath the cills. A casement window is situated on the left-hand side.

The interior was remodelled in the late 20th century. Features include an entrance stair hall with a rear stair flight, a studwork partition, and a chamfered ceiling beam. A former inn “parlour” is located in the west end with panelling and an arched shell niche.

Attached to the front are area walls and spear-headed iron railings. It is believed the building may have originally been a workshop range, featuring wide, open windows between ashlar piers. Formerly the Traveller's Rest Inn, the site included a malthouse in the rear courtyard.
