The Lifeboat Tavern

The Lifeboat Tavern is an inn that features painted roughcast and stucco with a slate roof that has close eaves and no chimneys. The building is two storeys high and has a three-window range. The first floor includes three 4-pane horned sash windows. The ground floor, which is painted stucco, displays channelled rustication and has two mid to late 20th-century bow windows, one with 25 panes on the left and another with 40 panes in the centre. There are channelled piers between the windows and between the centre window and a 20th-century door to the right, which has an overlight above it. A raised band runs above the ground floor, and a plinth is located below it. The roof features a 20th-century flat-roofed double dormer.

On the short north return, there is a ground floor window that was a door with two long panels in 1977. The rear wing extends back between Cheltenham Houses and the Caldey Island Shop on Quay Street, having been mostly rebuilt since 1977 with an additional floor made of red brick and a flat roof, although some old stonework can still be seen from the rear yard of the Caldey Island Shop. There is a small outbuilding attached at right angles at the back, constructed of rubble stone with a slate roof, which is connected to the rear wing of No. 2 Bridge Street.

The interior has been significantly altered. The front range contains one heavy beam towards the rear that spans the full width, while the rear wing extends back and features some medieval corbels in the rubble stone side walls.
