Possibly mid-Victorian the Queen’s Hotel retained the Georgian style.
The walls are typical early 19th century construction, rubble
with stucco rendering, lined out to suggest ashlar (squared) blocks. The
one projecting feature was the porch, in the Tuscan style with ironwork
railings, flower basket and a lamp above. The blocked window may be in
consequence of the window tax which lasted to 1851. |
