Manbridge Restaurant

This is an 18th-century restaurant building. It has an ashlar stone facade, a modern pantile roof, and extends over three storeys. The building is topped with a plain parapet, supported by simple stone brackets, with plain string courses at sill level. A heavily moulded and dentilled cornice runs along the second floor, also supported by cut stone brackets. There are five windows on each floor, each with architrave surrounds and intact sash windows with glazing bars. The central doorway features a semi-circular head, a fanlight with glazing bars, a keystone, moulded imposts, and a deep roll bolection moulding around the doorhead and down the jambs to the base blocks. The doorcase is constructed of Tuscan half-columns and an entablature, leading to an eight-panelled door. To the left of the doorway, a sash window with glazing bars is paired with a semi-circular headed opening containing a keystone. To the right of the doorway, another sash window with glazing bars is alongside a semi-circular recess and a further sash window with glazing bars. The building forms a group with numbers 12 to 14 and 16 to 25 Bridge Street, the Old Forge, and numbers 1 and 2 St Margaret's Street.
