Full Description

{1} A level 2 historic building survey was undertaken prior to the conversion of the former public house into residential use. The building appears to have originated in the 18th or early 19th centuries and was constructed in ironstone. In the late 19th century it was substantially rebuilt in brick with faux timber framing and converted into a public house. In the mid-late 20th century western structures associated with the earliest phase were demolished and western and southern lean-tos were constructed. In the early 21st century, the western lean-to was demolished.
