Description
The Blue Bell Inn is a mid-19th century inn featuring a whitewashed roughcast exterior and a slate roof with a brick stack at the north end. The building is two stories high and has a three-window range, with raised cement labels above the windows, similar to those found on other buildings in Bridge Street. The windows are four-pane sashes with slate sills. At the center, there are double doors leading into a timber open porch with a tent roof. Between the upper center and right windows, there is a timber inn sign that is carved and painted to depict a bell.
At the rear, there is a wing made of rubble stone. The inn is detached to the north, although an 1889 Ordnance Survey map indicates that there was once a projecting building situated between The Blue Bell and The Bunch of Grapes.
Local climate
The Blue Bell Inn sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,170 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 91% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 75% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
