Grand Junction Public House

The Grand Junction Public House, formerly known as the Grand Junction Hotel, is a public house that was originally an inn. It dates from the early 19th century and has been altered in the 20th century. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble, with a front made of painted red brick in Flemish bond. It features a half-hipped slate roof and red brick internal stacks, forming an L-plan structure.

The building has two storeys and an attic, with a three-window range. To the left of the centre, there is a 20th-century double-leaf, part-glazed door with an overlight and a straight hood supported by shaped brackets. A second 20th-century door is located to the far right, also featuring an overlight and a flat-arched head. The ground floor has a 12-pane sash window in the centre and tripartite sash windows on the left and right. The first floor mirrors this arrangement, with the exception that the window on the left consists of paired 12-pane sashes. All windows have flat-arched heads.

The building includes a rendered plinth, a storey band, and an eaves band. The right gable end features a tripartite sash window on the ground floor, along with a 3-light and a 1-light casement window in the attic, all with flat-arched heads. There is a two-storey wing at the rear right with sash and casement windows, and a slightly recessed, lower two-storey, one-window wing to the left of the front. This wing has a slate roof, a 12-pane sash window on the ground floor, and a 2-light casement window on the first floor. No. 12 is now part of the general accommodation. The public house is associated with the Buckingham arm of the Grand Junction canal, which terminated nearby, behind Wharf House on Stratford Road.
