The Mitre Inn And Attached Area Railings

The Mitre Inn is a public house dating from approximately 1820-30, depicted on Merrett’s Map of 1834, with a later 19th-century addition to the left. The main block is stuccoed over brick, while the addition is red brick with gault brick dressings. It has three storeys and a basement to the right return, with a four-window front and a one-window range on the corner, plus an additional one-window range to the left. The corner is rounded with blind openings on the first and second floors, featuring a casement window on the ground floor. Horizontal-pane sash windows are present, with 2/2 sashes on the ground floor and 6/6 sashes on the first floor; some windows are blind. The second floor includes 3/6 sashes, also partly blind. A projecting porch centrally features a part-glazed door and entablature. The right return has three first-floor windows with 6/6 and 3/6 sashes where original. A further central entrance leads to a six-panel door with an overlight featuring circle and lozenge glazing bars. The left range is articulated by pilaster strips and has 1/1 sashes and part-glazed doors with overlights. The interior bar area has been remodelled; the remainder of the building was not inspected. The inn predates the artisan district of St Luke's and is an externally complete and relatively rare example of a typical Georgian town pub, built on a corner site with direct street access via two entrances.
