Sun Inn
GV II
Public house. Late C18, altered C19. Coursed squared sandstone
with ashlar dressings on the front and side, but rendered
rubble elsewhere. Slate roof with a coped gable with kneelers
to the left. Double-depth front block with a central doorway
and a rear wing to the right.
3 storeys above cellars and 3 bays with raised plain quoins.
All the openings have raised plain surrounds. The doorway has
double doors of uncertain vintage with 10 flush panels. All
the windows are sashed: those on the ground floor have no
glazing bars; those on the first and second floors have 12 and
9 panes respectively; in the central bay on the second floor a
glazed 9-pane blind window. The left-hand gable has a central
doorway on the ground floor, with a window placed above it in
each of the floors above, the first floor one is now blocked.
In the rear wing close to the main block is a tall staircase
window.
HISTORY: built as part of the redevelopment of the land behind
the old Sun Inn in the 1790s, which also resulted in the
laying out of Sun Street.
