Red Lion Hotel

The Red Lion Hotel is a former inn, now a public house, dating from the early to mid-19th century. It features Flemish bond brickwork with a slate roof facing Broad Street and large concrete tiles on the Market Square side. The building is two storeys high, with three windows on the Broad Street facade and four bays on the Market Square side.

On the Broad Street front, there is a brick plinth and three paired single-pane sash windows, each set under flat, rubbed brick arches. Between the second and third windows from the left, a six-panel door is accessed by three steps; the upper panels are fielded while the bottom panel is flush. The door has panelled reveals, a moulded surround, and a flat hood supported by shaped brackets. The first-floor windows mirror those below, and there is an iron arm with two stays for an inn sign. A post and end of a supporting beam from a former jettied timber-framed building can be seen against No 4. The building has a coved plaster cornice and a hipped roof, with a tall brick chimney located against No 4.

The left return to Market Square features a projecting brick chimney on the right, with low, triangular brick-topped infill to its right. To the left, there is a two-light casement window with a flat rendered lintel, and double doors that are top-half glazed with a moulded surround and a flat hood on shaped brackets. A cambered brick-on-end arch leads to a cellar hatch. Beyond this, there is a large, canted bay with late 20th-century windows on two faces and a third brick face, topped with a hipped slate roof.

Slightly projecting beyond the bay are three brick piers with stone Doric caps and a deep rendered lintel above. The first bay has wide double boarded doors with diagonally set boarding and fretwork grills in the upper half, while the second bay is narrower with brick below and a rendered panel above. The first floor features a 16-pane sash window with a cambered head over the door, and another over the right half of the bay. A coved plaster cornice extends up to the projection, and there are three semi-circular headed sash windows above the Doric piers, with a continuous sill on top of the lintel and shaped consoles adorned with swags and skulls below each arch. The arches and alternate bricks in the reveals are painted. The building has a hipped roof, which is higher for the last extension, and there are two brick chimneys behind the ridge towards the right of the centre, with a third on the ridge at the junction of the three-window section.
