Rebuilt in early C19 by Earl Grosvenor; possibly parts of the older structure
remain. The title of the Inn was then changed from the "Red Lion" to its
present name. The centre part of the front is 3-storey, 3-window; the
ground floor of stone, the upper floors (which oversail) of stucco possibly
over timber framing. The overhang is supported on Tuscan columns. In
centre is an elliptically-arched yard entry, flanked by splayed bays.
These have sash windows and coved heads reaching to soffit of overhang.
The centre of this block projects slightly and has a sedimented gable.
Very-large windows to 1st floor, the side ones being sashes, the central
one a French casement. Cast-iron balcony in the centre. Flanking this
main block there are lower blocks, in recession, also 5 storeys, that on
the left hand comprising a single 3-storey bay oversailing at 1st floor.
Right hand extension of 2 bays. There is a further brick extension of
4 bays of later date to the right, with yard entry at right hand end.
The cobbled inn yard remains, having a good splayed bay to 1st floor on
the North side.
Nos 5 to 13 (odd) The Fruit Shop, Nos 17 and 19 form a group.
