SX874510 SOUTH EMBANKMENT 673-1/8/227 (West side) No.5 Raleigh Court and The Raleigh Public House

GV II

Hotel, now public house and flats. Dated 1888-1889 by EH Back, architect, and Row and Watts, builders. Mixed construction; painted Flemish-bond red brick with Bathstone ashlar dressings and timber-framed show front over ground-floor level red brick; red brick star-shaped chimneyshaft; steeply-pitched gabled slate roof with pierced crested ridge tiles. PLAN: Double-depth, 3 rooms wide. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys with attics; 3-bay front. Ornamental show front in a distinctive Elizabethan style. Timber-framed with jettied floors, projecting bays, balustraded balconies. Stone doorways each end have moulded surrounds and overlights. Left one (to bar) has mullioned overlight and contains C20 studded plank door. Right one (to flats) has plain overlight and contains original door with pattern of faceted panels. It is flanked by transomed sidelights in same Tudor style as the 2 windows between which have lost their stone mullions below transom level. Symmetrical 3-bay front above. First floor has canted bays either side of paired French windows onto the balcony between the bays. Similar arrangement on second floor with square bays which rise to gables over attic windows. Third attic window a gabled half-dormer in recess between. First-floor bays contain ovolo-moulded 3-light mullion-and-transom windows with side lights, the panels below enriched with Jacobean-style pargetting. Windows mostly replaced by late C20 aluminium frames, although first-floor top lights have original patterns of coloured leaded glass. Framing creates narrow panels which were probably originally slate-hung as still remains on the left side wall. Criss-cross braces under second- and attic-floor windows. Attic floor jettied with shaped joist ends projecting through moulded cornices. Corner brackets surmounted by carved gargoyles. Gables have bargeboards with zig-zag decoration and ornamental wrought-iron finials featuring flowers. Brick left side wall contains single-light windows either side of a projecting stack on which is the date plaque inscribed "The first building erected on New Embankment 1888-9; EH Back, architect; Row and Watts, builders". Behind is a projecting bay window rising from first-floor level to a gable over the attic window; it is complete with ornamental slate-hanging. INTERIOR: Not inspected. Included for group value.
