GV
II
Former coaching inn, now in commercial and residential use. Late C18, altered. Dressed granite, brought to courses, roof of local slate and Welsh slate. Elongated L-shaped plan formed by a long front range, with a central wagon-passage between the shop to the left and the public house to the right, and a long rear wing to the right-hand end. Three storeys and 4+3 bays; the wagon entrance in the fourth bay has a quoined surround and rectangular lintel supported at the right-hand end by a cut-away corbel. The four-bay shop to the left has a modern shop-front at ground floor, four 12-pane sashed windows at first floor (that over the wagon entrance slightly smaller), and four low six-pane sashes at second floor. The three- bay public house to the right is symmetrical, with a wide Doric porch in the centre (the top carrying iron railings), flanked by tripartite sashed windows with lintels scored in imitation of voussoirs; at first floor, a 16- pane sash in the centre and large 25-pane sashes to each side; and at second floor, altered and enlarged windows breaking through the eaves, with hipped dormer roofs, now all 20-pane sashes (but formerly like those to the left). All windows have raised sills and quoined jambs. Large gable chimney stacks. The rear and rear wing are considered to be of lesser interest.
INTERIOR: it is understood that as part of a 1960s conversion into a supermarket, all of the internal walls on the ground floor were removed. The upper floors were altered but retain many original features and fittings, and much of their C18 plan form still survives.
The buildings form a group with the former Red Lion Hotel adjoining to the right, and with telephone kiosk beside the junction between them.
HISTORY: 33 & 34 Fore Street were built in 1776. 33 Fore Street was formerly a townhouse that was converted into a mining office in 1880 and later a commercial building. In 1964 the building became a supermarket on the ground floor with residential apartments on the upper floors, and a rear extension added. The building was converted into separate shop units in the 1970s. 34 Fore Street was built as a coaching inn called the London Inn or Hotel; it is now referred to as The Old Coach House. It was one of the principal hostelries of the town with 12 bedrooms and stabling for up to 60 horses and carriages, replaced by extensions in the early-C20. The site was owned primarily by Redruth Brewery.
