Summary | |||||
Description | Listed under 'Accommodation of Troops'. This building is a three-storey 19th century building that was built for the purposes of being a hotel. It remained a hotel until its closure, and today the hotel, although still extant, is boarded up ad no longer remains a commercial, operating hotel. The building stretches along the pavement, against which it is directly situated. The building is primarily constructed out of brick and mortar, although utilises decorative stone work in the door and window surrounds. The building is constructed in the English Bond style. The roof is double-pitched and hipped and is constructed of tile. From the roof that can be observed there appear to be no living accommodation in the attic. To the southern side of the roof there appears to be a series of chimneys which are constructed in a cross shape, making the chimneys both transverse and longitudinal in orientation. From the chimneys observable there appears to be ten chimneypots, although it is likely that there are more. To the west-facing main façade of the hotel there is a single entrance to the ground floor in the centre of the building. It is a single door with a large neo-classical surround made of stone. There are also decorative brickwork columns either side of the doorway. There are six windows to the ground floor; there is a single window to the north end, two windows coupled to the left hand side of the doorway, two windows coupled to the right hand side of the doorway, and then a further single window to the southern end. All of these windows have an identical stone lintel and mantel. To the first floor there is a similar arrangement/pattern of windows, although there is an extra window above the doorway. These seven windows again take the pattern of single, coupled, single and again all have stone lintels and mantels. There is decorative stonework running horizontally across the building on this floor, one band being at the level of the windowsills, with one aligning to the bottom edges of the mantels. To the second floor the windows are of an identical pattern to those on the first floor, however, the decorative stone work above the windows is more minimal, though is painted. All of the windows on this building appear to have been sash windows. There is also decorative brickwork below the eaves of the building with some of the brickwork being painted alternately in black and white. There is stone edging around the building. South facing wall: The south facing wall has the same brick work as the rest of the building. The face is painted grey. The majority of windows have been bordered up and there are portable cabins restricting the view of the first storey, however it would appear that there is one blocked up single window on the left of the building. In the centre and on the right there are two lots of two arched windows (which are blocked up). The second storey has two single sash windows. The third storey also has two single sash windows. The north facing wall has two sash windows on the second storey and two on the third. This side of the building is in disarray. The exterior surface demonstrates where a prior building was adjacent to it. The rear of the building cannot be accessed due to it being the grounds of total windows. What can be identified is three sash windows on the third floor and two on the second. There is also some steps leading up to a door on the second storey. This has been added to the building since its build. In the first world war this building was used for the accommodation of troops. | ||||
