Description
The White Bear Inn, located at 34 Monday Market Street, is a 16th-century building that has been altered. It features two storeys and an attic, with a three-gabled front and an additional hipped bay on the left side. The structure has a stuccoed painted stone plinth and a timber-framed body that is pebble-dashed. There is a moulded wood band at the first-floor level, and the right-hand gable retains its original barge boards and finial, while the other gables have only finials. The roof is covered with slate.
Each gable has one two-light Yorkshire casement window, with each light containing three panes arranged in a 3x3 pattern. Under the left-hand gable on the first floor, there is a one-storey angular bay with a wooden apron; the centre light is five panes wide, and the side lights have one pane each. The ground floor features a double window on the left, two single windows, and three doors that are irregularly spaced. Two of the doors are lodged, and one is a six-panel door with a moulded flat hood supported by cut brackets.
The side elevation of the nipped left-hand bay includes a tall chimney positioned to the right of centre, two windows on the first floor, and on the ground floor, there is a double window on the left, a six-panel door beneath a flat hood on cut brackets, a one-storey angular bay, and one window on the right. The building is part of a picturesque block of structures.
