Description
The Bridge End Inn is a hostelry from the early 19th century, likely incorporating elements from the 18th century, as indicated by a deed from 1762. The building is constructed of pebbledashed rubble stone and features a slate roof. It stands three storeys tall with a basement and has four window bays, along with a two-bay rear wing that contains an assembly room on the upper floor facing the river.
The entrance is located in the third bay and consists of a panelled door with an overlight. The windows include four later 19th century sash windows with four panes each, while the left side features a sixteen-paned sash window. On the first floor, there is a casement window with margin lights above the door, and four square sash windows on the second floor. The end stacks are present, with the eastern gable made of limewashed rubble and the western gable rendered and painted with advertisements from around the 1920s. The corner of the building is reinforced with iron. The two-bay rear extension has stone slates and a door leading to the river bank, along with a 20th century brick building in the re-entrant angle.
Inside, the building features boxed spine beams and an 18th century fireplace surround with an eared architrave. There are steps leading to the former assembly room at the front of the building, which is lit by a sash window.
