Description
The Fleece Hotel is a hotel and public house built in 1897 by G G Hoskins for Messrs R Fenwick and Co Limited. It is constructed from brick and terracotta, with an elaborate gabled tile roof. The building is in a Castellated Gothic Revival style. The main facade has five bays and four storeys. A central entrance is accessed through a four-centred arch, flanked by ceramic round turrets that are machicolated, crenellated, and feature a parapet bearing the owners' arms. Above, there are plain sash windows beneath a three-light bowed oriel with a circular pointed roof. Each side features a crow-stepped gable with ceramic bowed oriel turrets at roof level, incorporating three arrow slits and round pointed roofs. The ground and first floors have terracotta bowed, three-light sash windows, with a crenellated balcony above. The second floor has two-light sash windows below third-floor slit openings. To the right is a four-centred arch entrance to stables at the rear, crenellated and with edge turrets. The Friars Wynd elevation displays a terracotta plaque dated 1897. The interior retains an original mahogany staircase, leaded lights, and some panelling. The building is grouped with the Theatre Royal.
