12 New Street, Selby (formerly the Rose and Crown Public House)

Former public house/hotel, late C18 to early C19, later converted into flats and apartments.

MATERIALS: stuccoed main elevations, fair-faced brick rear elevation, and a pantile pitched roof.

PLAN: L-plan.

EXTERIOR: the three-storey, five-bay main elevation facing on to New Street has four flush 12-light sash windows to each floor, with a blind window space to the right-hand bay of the first and second floors. The ground floor bays are irregular, and the off-centre plain timber front door has a rectangular fanlight with a plain pilastered timber surround, beneath a flat moulded cornice. The irregular three-bay south-west elevation has 12-light sashes to all three floors and an off-set doorway with a rectangular fanlight. Both elevations have oval cast-iron tie plates. The rear south-east facing elevation is blind, apart from a ground-floor door on the right-hand side, while the rear two-bay north-east facing elevation has a 12-light sash window and doorway to the ground-floor and a pair of similar sashes to the first-floor, and a pair of six-light sashes to the second-floor. The rendered north-east gable has mock quoining and a chimney stack at its apex. The south-east gable has a raised and coped verge with kneelers, and is mostly obscured by an attached modern building. The pitched roof has a central chimney stack, a small chimney stack rising against the coped verge, and has paired brackets to the eaves, supporting modern heritage guttering.
