Unity Inn
The Unity Inn is a locally listed building.

An early 19th century public house with an engaging well-designed front of circa 1888, it is characterised by finely carved stone detailing and terracotta.

The pub is said to have been named for the Oddfellows Hall which stood nearby. It was first recorded in 1858, and refronted in the late 1880s. Brick with stone dressings, slate roof. Symmetrical frontage, two storeys. Central entrance with a pedimental top with carved foliage in the tympanum, paired colonettes with foliated caps on each side. This is flanked by windows with wide segmental heads. Paired upper windows on each side share a stone lintel and are divided by a brick pier with a foliated stone cap. Above is a decorative red terracotta frieze. A central shaped gable has a ball finial and carving in red sandstone within it with the words "Unity Inn" and a vase with flowers.

It was a Robinsons pub SJ8990 : The Unity but was closed around 2013 SJ8990 : Unity Inn.
