The Bull Hotel

The Bull Hotel is a Grade II-listed building in Llangefni, Anglesey, built during the nineteenth century in a seventeenth-century vernacular style. It replaced an earlier inn built on the same site.

Background and description

The building was constructed around 1850 and replaced a seventeenth-century inn on the same site known as the Pen-y-Bont that had been renamed as the Bull's Head in 1817. The hotel is built in a seventeenth-century vernacular style, faced with limestone rubble and freestone facings, and fitted with a slate roof. The main part of the hotel is a double-depth, three-storey structure with a full-height gabled wing to the right rear to form an L shape. This is abutted by lofted tackrooms and servant's quarters which comprise one wing of the U-shaped range of outbuildings behind the hotel. The opposite side are lofted stables, connected to the tackrooms by a single-storey row of coach-houses. [1]

The entrance faces north and has four bays with a lateral chimney protruding to the left that are partly corbelled over the ground floor. The roof has three gabled dormers over a pedimented, two-storey, rectangular bay window. The other windows are small-paned casements in freestone mullioned and transomed surrounds; the first-floor windows with flat moulded labels. [1]

The hotel was listed on 11 October 1986 by Cadw "as a good, substantially complete example of a Victorian coaching Inn and courtyard range. The Inn is an ambitiously scaled and particularly well-detailed example of neo-vernacular design, prominently sited in the centre of the town, it also forms a group with the adjacent town hall and clock." [1]

The King and Queen is a pub in the seaside resort of Brighton, part of the city of Brighton and Hove. The present building, a "striking" architectural "pantomime" by the prolific local firm Clayton & Black, dates from the 1930s, but a pub of this name has stood on the site since 1860—making it one of the first developments beyond the boundaries of the ancient village. This 18th-century pub was, in turn, converted from a former farmhouse. Built using materials characteristic of 16th-century Vernacular architecture, the pub is in the Mock Tudor style and has a wide range of extravagant decorative features inside and outside—contrasting with the simple design of the neighbouring offices at 20–22 Marlborough Place, designed a year later. English Heritage has listed the pub at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.
