Appraisal
Originally two separate buildings, the existing blocks were joined by the construction of the central block in the early twentieth century. Although recently altered internally, all existing exterior features have been retained including slate roofs, panelled doors, sash windows, lettering to pub-front and other decorative details. The existence of three different building styles in one complex, and the retention of the early grocery and bar internally, lends a unique character to this building.
