An early C18 inn with cast-iron royal arms and a blank arcade on the ground floor. (1)
Nos 17-19 is made up of two unequally sized brick-built premises under a continuous roofline. That is, a former house now shop (No. 17) and a public house (No. 19), separated at ground-floor level by a carriage arch leading to Paxton’s Court. Thought to date from the early 18th century with later alterations, the buildings were listed grade II in 1971. The elevation of the Old King’s Arms is dominated by a painted panel depicting the royal arms executed in cast iron. It retains sash windows on the first floor and dormers with Yorkshire sashes. No. 17 has been subject to greater alteration, including a late 20th century shopfront and 20th-century casement windows to the first floor. (2)
