The Ship Inn

The Ship Inn is a public house located on Piel Island, likely originating in the 18th century, rebuilt in the early 19th century, and extended in the late 19th century. It features scored stucco and a graduated slate roof. The building is two storeys tall and has an elongated range with three windows on the first floor to the left of a twin-gabled front wing. There is a porch at the angle with the wing that has a six-panel door on the left side and a 20th-century casement window at the front, topped with a hipped roof. A later porch is attached to the left return. The windows on the main range to the left have painted, dressed-stone surrounds, with two six-pane sashes on the ground floor and two twelve-pane sashes above. There is a smaller twelve-pane sash above the porch with a projecting stone sill. In the front wing, there is a four-pane sash under a cambered arch on the ground floor to the right, and a short left return features a six-pane sash below a twelve-pane sash. The building has end stacks on each gable of the wing and to the left of the main range, along with three ridge stacks on the main range.
