The Crown Hotel

The Crown Hotel is probably a public house built around 1800. It is constructed with lined-out render, likely over a rubble base, and has a slate roof with brick gable-end chimneys. The building is three storeys high and has a two-window facade. The shop-front across the ground floor is probably original to the building, although it has been significantly altered. It features a shallow bow shape in its plan, originally with side doorways and a central door flanked by two windows. While the openings have been changed and the outer doorways blocked, slender fluted columns and a simply moulded entablature remain. Upper windows are 16-pane sash windows with splayed painted heads. This is a simply detailed urban building of special interest due to the quality of its shop-front, which retains exceptionally fine details despite unsympathetic alteration.
