SD4761 CHURCH STREET 1685-1/7/86 (South side) No.75 Duke of Lancaster Public House
GV II
Formerly known as: No.75 Black Bull Hotel CHURCH STREET. Public house. c1900. Probably by Austin and Paley. Sandstone ashlar with roughcast upper floors and ashlar dressings. Slate roofs with red clay ridge-tiles and decorative finials, plus chimney stacks on the end gables and at the junction of the ridges. Rectangular plan on a corner site, with doorways centrally placed on the elevations to both Church Street and China Street. 2 storeys with cellars and attics, and 3 asymmetrical bays to each street, with a rounded bay on the corner. This has paired windows on each floor and rises to a round turret at roof level with a dome above a cornice, and a spike finial. The corner bay is flanked by pilasters carrying a cornice above the ground floor which rises to form a segmental open pediment above the doorways. The doorways to both streets are similar and have a round-headed moulded arch with a fluted keystone; the doors are recent. On Church Street the ground-floor windows are placed symmetrically on either side of the doorway. They are tripartite with stone mullions and flat scrolled aprons, and have timber transoms which rise in a curve in the central light. On the first floor the windows are arranged with a single light above the doorway, flanked by a paired window above the ground-floor windows. Each of these windows has a plain cornice. The attic has a centrally-placed gable with prominent bargeboards and a plain window of Venetian form under the tile-hung apex. On China Street the ground-floor elevation has, from left to right, a paired window with heavy keystones (above which the cornice is forced to rise twice), the doorway, a single window, and a tripartite window which is detailed like those on Church Street. The first floor has 3 single windows, placed above the openings below, then 3 linked windows above the tripartite window. The attic has a gable to the right containing a flat oriel, carried on brackets; there is also a dormer to the left. To the right along China Street are a 2-storey side wing and, across a yard, a small 2-storey stable; both are of simpler design, but original and in keeping.
