The New Inn

The New Inn is an early to mid-18th century public house, which was re-fronted in the early 20th century. It is constructed of stuccoed brick to the front elevation, with ashlar dressings, and has a pitched and sprocketed roof covered in grey/green slates. The building has a narrow, sub-rectangular plan.

The front elevation is two storeys and five bays wide. It has a rendered brick plinth and an early 20th century public house front with an ashlar fascia and a moulded cornice bearing the inscription "THE NEW INN" in raised lettering. The ground floor features a pair of decorative Arts and Crafts leaded windows with ashlar mullions and transoms, flanking an ashlar Tudor-style double doorway. The doorway has a four-centred moulded arch and a narrow oblong leaded fanlight, surmounted by a lintel with painted gold and red lettering that reads "WINES & SPIRITS", and flanked by modern replica brass lanterns. The doorway is closed by a pair of two-panel doors with canted top rails, each with a brass door knob and a lion head door knocker. A passageway entrance to the right is enclosed by a plank gate. The stained-glass windows depict shooting scenes. The first floor is stuccoed, with five narrow segmental-headed 24-light sash windows with keystones, all set beneath deep eaves supporting moulded cast-iron rainwater goods. The left end of the roof has a raised rendered brick verge, and an offset rendered brick ridge stack features four tall terracotta drawn chimney pots.

Inside, the double-entry porch has a terrazzo floor with the words ‘New Inn’ in tiles, panelled doors with brass handles, finger plates, and leaded lights. The two public rooms contain bars with mullions extending to deep glazed valences with leaded lights, one forming a shallow canted bay window. These rooms also feature built-in settles with Arts and Crafts detailing to the arms and legs.
