Hen and Chickens PH including attached No. 10 facing St John's Street

The building is in three clearly defined sections, but is wholly rendered and painted on the street elevations, with natural slate roofs and brick stacks, the west end elevation is red brick.

Flannel Street elevation. Right section is C18 in appearance but is only single depth plan. Two storeys, three windows over a late C19 shopfront with recessed central entrance and 2-light display windows with timber mullion on either side; coved fascia with pedimented stops at either end. The windows above are 3 over 3 pane sashes with a modern casement between. Plain steeply pitched roof with rebuilt red brick stack to right gable. Centre section is C18 in appearance, double depth plan, two storeys plus attics, three windows over. On ground floor, good late C19 public house front; classically-derived end pilasters support cornice and fascia board, 5-light window with brass sill over panelled stallrisers, door to left with overlight. First floor windows with late C20 casement glazing. Moderately pitched roof with two catslide dormers with modern casement glazing, the large stack shown in photographs has gone from the left gable, Left section has double depth plan, two storeys, two windows. The ground floor has a tripartite sash window with 2 over 2 panes flanked by 1 over 1, and a doorway to right. The first floor has 2 over 2 pane sash windows. Low pitch roof without stack. Partly rebuilt red brick walling to left return.

St. Johns Street elevation. The section in front of the right hand section facing Flannel Street is a separate premises, and has C19 shopfronts. Centre section has a first floor splayed oriel with 2 over 2 pane sashes flanked by 1 over 1. Below this is a horned tripartite sash with a plain doorway to the right. Low pitch roof with late C20 feature of unknown use, possibly ventilation. Right section is a lower building with three storeys with single window to top (2-light) and first floor (blocked), and doorway with attached broad 3-light window on ground floor. To right of this a two-storey building at the west corner has been much altered and rebuilt.

Right-hand section shows clear evidence of the first jettied build. It is of single depth plan with a blind stone rear wall backing onto the house in St. Johns Street. The present street front has been projected beyond the jettied one so the first floor must be carried on an RSJ. Four massive boxed in cross-beams carry the first floor and the jetty post survives in the right corner. Victorian fireplace and tiled floor. Upper floors not seen but they are said to retain C19 fireplaces etc. Left hand section has been more altered and is difficult to interpret.
