Bridge Hotel - Physical Description 1
Description and integrity
The Bridge Hotel at the corner of Bridge and Water streets is a two-storey face brick building with a decorative painted rendered parapet that extends along the Bridge Street elevation and returns to Water Street. There is a single-storey addition to the east, extending along Water Street. The form of the parapet and the render details to the two-storey section appear to be of Edwardian origins.
The hotel has a chamfered corner entry bay, with a non-original door. There is an additional doorway to each of the Bridge Street and Water Street elevations; the latter is a modified window opening. Works to accommodate the present glazed double doors include the widening of both the window opening, and the rendered lintel. The Bridge Street entry, which also has a rendered lintel, may be original.
Window openings are regularly spaced on both levels. The ground level windows have rendered sills and lintels; while those to the upper level have rendered sills only. There is a small rendered cartouche-like panel over the chamfered corner entry bay. There are also two rendered panels to the parapet.
Some areas of the brickwork are over-painted in a brick colour, possibly concealing earlier painted signage. The parapet is painted white, with details and cappings in grey. The hipped roof areas are clad with corrugated sheet metal.
The single-storey rear addition has been extended since 1934. The Water Street-facing elevation of the original rear wing has been extensively modified, including the partial infilling of the two window openings.
