Description
The Pelican Inn is a late 18th-century building located at 9 Market Place. It stands three storeys tall and is constructed from Bath stone. The building features a projecting plinth and horizontal rustications on the ground floor, with string courses at the cill levels of the first and second floors. A moulded cornice and blocking course adorn the top, and the roof is covered with slate.
There are four windows on the upper floors, one of which is a false window, all of which are four panes wide. The ground floor has two four-pane wide windows flanking a six-panel door that includes a plain arched fanlight. To the right, there is a three-centred arched entryway leading to a yard. Notably, the false window on the first floor displays a painted sign of a Pelican.
The Pelican Inn is part of a group of listed buildings that includes all the structures on the South-West Side, South-East Side, Market Hall, Market Cross, and the Fountain, as well as the buildings on the South West Side that form a group with numbers 1 to 18 on Northgate Street.
