No.48 George Hotel Public House
GV II
Public house. Original building late C17 but extensively rebuilt during C19, and remodelled early C20.
Roughcast render over brick with mock timbering to main elevation. Welsh slate roof. 3-storeyed over substantial cellars, 2-window range. Entrance front comprehensively remodelled early C20. Central round-arched entrance with radial fanlight (perhaps early C19) flanked by 3-light windows divided by a transom, and with segmentally-arched lower central light. Upper windows have wood mullions and transoms and leaded lights. Lower gabled single-window range recessed to left with similar fenestration.

INTERIOR: the only visible evidence for an earlier structure is the staircase to the rear, which is apparently late C17, with twisted balusters and moulded rail.
