Description

The present building dates from 1955 and is unlisted.
The original building, probably C18 and facing east, was of unpainted brick on a brick plinth. Off-centre door with flat hood on plain brackets, between two ground-floor casement windows, each of three sections of eight lights, with shutters, under segmental brick arched lintels. Third window, possibly a serving hatch, to south of doorway, sliding sash with two sections of eight lights. A second doorway appears to have been inserted in the south-east corner, with a six-pannelled door under a sign on an iron bracket reading ‘Private Bar’. Pub name board originally on wrought-iron bracket, later on replacement wooden bracket. The building appears to have been only one-room deep.
One-and-a-half storeys under plain clay-tiled roof with three gabled tiled dormers with 4-light casements. Single-storey lean-to addition to north in brick and horizontal weatherboarding with clay-tiled sloping roof and east-facing doorway. Brick chimney stacks to north gable end and rear.
The Brickmould was a public house in 1753 when licensing records begin, with Thomas Martin as licensee. It was demolished in 1955 by Benskins, who rebuilt it. Latterly it had been a free house and became a private house around the turn of the 21st century (B1)

Jean Carroll in Hedgerley magazine, December 1977, noted that a new pub was built on ground to rear of the previous site and that this closed in the late 1990s.
