72, Castlegate

72 Castlegate is a public house, now a house, dating from around 1800, with later alterations made in the late 19th century. The building is constructed of coursed squared stone and features a timber doorcase. It has rebuilt brick end stacks and a renewed pantile roof. The structure is two storeys high with an attic and has a two-window front.

At the left end, there is a passage entrance arch with a painted wedge lintel. The doorcase consists of sunk-panel pilasters with moulded imposts and a cornice, leading to recessed panelled double doors beneath an overlight. To the left, there is a tripartite window with a 4-pane centre sash, and a 4-pane sash window to the right. The first floor has two similar windows, with a third window above the passage arch that has been blocked. All windows feature painted stone sills and painted wedge lintels. In the attic, there are two gabled dormers with squat 4-pane sashes. The house was known as the Queen's Head and the Spread Eagle between 1800 and 1939.
