The Black Horse Public House

The Black Horse Public House is an inn built around 1842-1843. It features a limestone ashlar exterior and a hipped double-Roman tile roof with two gabled dormers. The building has a double-depth plan with rear extensions and stands two storeys high with an attic. The front is symmetrical with a three-window range, a plinth, and steps leading to the door. The first floor has 6/6-pane sash windows in the dormers and the center, flanked by 8/8-pane sashes. On the ground floor, there are two wide 20th-century segmental-plan bays, each topped with a dentilled cornice that extends around a bracketed hood above double 2-panel doors and an overlight. Each bay features timber mullions supporting 5-light sash windows with 9/1 panes. The Black Horse is part of a group of houses built on New Road following the arrival of the railway in 1840-1841.
