Contents

The building was constructed in the early 19th century, as coaching inn named "The Star", with stables to the rear. In about 1915, the inn was converted into a house, and the stables into engineering workshops. [1] In 1990, it was reconverted into a pub. By 2025, it had a bar, lounge, restaurant, and 23 bedrooms, many of which were in an annexe. [2] The building was grade II listed in 1966. [1]

The pub is on a corner site. It is built of gritstone on a plinth, with a moulded eaves cornice, a shallow blocking course, and a hipped grey slate roof. It has two storeys, a front of three bays and a lower bay on the left on Market Place, and five bays on Main Street. On each front is a doorway with a pointed arch, and a double-chamfered decorated doorhead. The windows are sashes with pointed heads, and all the openings have square hood moulds. [1] Inside, there is a stuffed boar named Boris. [3]
