LYTHAM ST ANNES
SD3627SW WEST BEACH, Lytham 621-1/5/96 (North side) Clifton Arms Hotel
GV II
Hotel. 1839-40, enlarged and altered. Red brick in Flemish bond with sandstone dressings and hipped slate roof. Extended double-depth plan with various back extensions and additions. Three storeys and originally a symmetrical 5-bay composition with central porch and full-height canted bay windows to the outer bays; with a later-C19 4-window extension to the right. Plinth, 1st-floor band, plain frieze, moulded cornice and blocking course. The centre of the original 5-bay range has an unusual full-height open-pedimented stone porch of 3 superimposed coupled pilasters, those at ground floor with heavily foliated carved capitals and all with prominent moulded cornices, an altered doorway at ground floor in an elliptical blank arch, tripartite windows to the upper floors with cast-iron balconies in simple geometrical patterns, and in the pediment the Clifton shield of arms with arm-and-dagger emblem. The canted outer bays have 3 windows to each floor, and the intermediate 3-window ranges each have two windows at ground floor in elliptical-headed blank arches. All the windows have raised sills and wedge lintels, and altered glazing. The 4-window extension to the right, with full-height canted bays 2nd and 4th, is in similar style except that the canted bays have round-headed windows at ground floor and the first has a pediment containing the Clifton arms. Seven chimneys on the front slope of the roof. Left gable wall has irregular fenestration, and a much lower 3-storey service wing beyond. INTERIOR remodelled in C20.
