Full Description
The Bell Hotel was known as early as 1793 as the Bell Inn. {1} The two-storey building is constructed of rendered brick with a slate gable roof and four chimney stacks. The roof has a varying height which, along with window locations and sizes and doors, indicates the possibility that there were orignally at least two separate semi-detached buildings. The hotel originally had three ranges to the rear of the front elevation. The middle range has since been shortened and merged with the western range, leaving one larger western range and a narrower eastern range. The hotel's façade can be divided in two parts from the difference in roof elevation. The western part, with a lower roof, has two large sash windows flanking a central doorway on the ground floor and two smaller sash windows above the ground floor windows on the first floor. The eastern part's leftmost bay, which has a faux Tudor half-timber framed first floor with a wooden gable end with a fake bell suspended from it; on the ground floor beneath this there is a doorway. There is another doorway to the right end of the building with two sash windows to the left of this and three sash windows above. {2}
