The Brothers Public House

The Brothers Public House is a pair of houses that form the end of a row, with the public house located at No. 55. This building dates from the early 19th century and has an L-plan layout. It features a shallow-depth front range with a mansard slope at the front, a central projecting stair turret, and two narrow gabled wings at the rear. The brickwork is in Flemish bond, painted at No. 55, with a tiled roof and brick stacks. The building stands three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and has a two plus two window arrangement.

The front facade includes broad 16-pane sash windows with wide-splayed brick voussoirs and fluted keystones, topped with a cornice and stone cills. There is a plat band above the ground-floor windows. No. 54 has a central five-panel door set in a pilaster doorcase with a flat entablature and deep panelled reveals. No. 55, known as The Brothers, features a late 19th-century rebuilt ground floor, which includes a broad two-light recessed and splayed bay with rectangular leaded lights, topped by a four-centred head. To the left of this bay is a six-panel door with a two-pane transom light, also under a four-centred head.

The building has a small plinth and pavement cellar access to No. 55. The roof has a coped parapet, a small dormer to the right of No. 54, and a coped verge on the left gable. There is a cropped brick stack on the right gable. The left side, facing Red Lane, is constructed of plain brickwork, with a former opening on the ground floor that is now blocked, and a single light window in the attic. The rear roof slope is in one plane, not in a mansard form, and features a hipped stair projection behind No. 54 and a deep paired-gable wing at No. 55. The interior has not been inspected. This building was formerly known as the George Hotel.
