CHESHIRE ARMS HOTEL (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
The existing fabric has three elements, all built to the street boundaries, the corner hotel and a residential section on Lyttleton Street; with a small shop between the two. Although built at different stages (the shop may have been the original 1865-6 building), their design and detailing is consistent. They are basic vernacular brick buildings with no pretensions. The roofs are simple parallel gable and skillion forms behind a low brick parapet. The combination of gables and skillions over a corner building is unusual (normally a hipped form would have been used). The present roofs over the corner structure may not be original although the skillion over the residential section almost certainly is. The parapet and cornice, continuous across all sections, are of face brickwork, the cornice being a simple three course corbel. The windows are single double hung of identical size with flat segmental arched brick openings and rendered sills, the doors are without sidelights.
The hotel follows the standard typology of a corner hotel with a door in the splayed corner leading to the bar-room and residential areas behind accessed by a side door. In this case, contrary to the typology, the bar-room windows are no more elaborate than those of the balance.
The internal layout is complex and on a variety of levels, reflecting an interaction between the staged construction and the considerable cross fall between Lyttleton Terrace and Chapel Street.1 The location of an external window between the hotel/shop and the dwelling confirms the prior construction of the former.
1 This report is based on a brief survey only. The complexity of the layout would require a detailed and
measured survey to fully understand the sequence of construction.
