Description
The Volunteer Inn is a building located on Temple Street, dating from around 1840 with later additions. It is two storeys high and has a stucco facade. The building features a plinth and a moulded string that runs across the heads of the first-floor windows. The gable end has a slate roof with a later cross-gabled section at the north end, where the eaves rise up to a flat leaded section at the gable. Below the gable, there is a two-storey canted stucco bay with three lights on each floor and an incised pattern on the apron.
On the first floor, there are four windows, one of which is blind, and the others are two-light casements. The ground floor has three windows, excluding the ground floor of the gabled bay. Two of these are canted bays that sit under a common lean-to slate roof, which extends over the main entrance as a cornice-hood supported by shaped brackets.
The Volunteer Inn, along with Nos 42 to 50 (even), forms a group of buildings of architectural interest.
