Green'S

Green's is an inn built in the early 19th century, with the ground floor possibly dating from the late 19th or early 20th century. It features painted brick construction, slate roofs, and brick stacks. The building has a wide but shallow front block with a return wing to Quay Street and a second wing at the left end. It stands three storeys tall with a basement and has four windows across the front. The broad 16-pane sash windows are set in brick voussoirs and keystones, with decorative urns at the first floor and floral swags at the second floor. The ground floor is rendered and has rusticated joints beneath a frieze with a dentilled cornice. There are two wide lights with four small panes above the transom in segmental heads, also featuring voussoirs and keystones. The central door is flanked by sidelights and topped with a transom light in a similar segmental head, all within a pilaster case and open pediment. A basement grille is located to the left. The building has a small plinth that returns to the left and a small modillion cornice that stops at the front, along with a blocking course and coped parapet. At the rear eaves, there are two large brick stacks.

The return wing to Quay Street features a narrow section with a haunched parapet, a 12-pane sash window at the first floor on the right with a keystone, and a lower three-storey wing with two horizontal 12-pane sashes above a 16-pane sash. The ground floor details match the front, with a central four-panel door topped by a radial fanlight and arch in a pilaster doorcase with an open pediment. This is flanked by plain lights with two lights above a transom in segmental heads with small keystones. The frieze and cornice continue around this section as well. The back of the main block features a wide central gable above a wide segmental-headed opening, and to the left is the mansard-roofed wing. A small lead-covered octagonal light is set at the junction of the two blocks. The building, formerly known as the Anchor Hotel, occupies an important corner site in the High Street and has been designed with high ceilings to create an imposing presence.
