Peacock Hotel - Physical Description 1
The Peacock Hotel is a building of the c1890 which has been faced with pseudo Egyptian-style rendered decoration and glazed dado-tiling; the parapet has been cut back, except at the central entablature, and the roof-line taken through to create overhanging eaves which are boxed in to form a curved profile. Two bas-relief papyrus plants are placed symmetrically on the High Street facade, dividing pairs of arched double hung sash windows at first floor level. The name of the building is inscribed in raised lettering on both facades within Art Deco influenced decorative panel.
