Description of Buildings.
The South Gate Inn is a structure which appears to be formed from three
linked but distinct buildings. The south wing of the building is built
of cream masonry three stories in height, this is joined to the north wing
by a two story link, the bottom of which is of high quality masonry with
the upper, over-hanging, floor being built from timber. The north wing
is built from white-washed masonry which shows signs of recent repair.
The whole of this building is roofed with reddish brown tiles. The adjacent
building to the east of the Inn is also part of the Inn and has been white-washed
to match the north wing, it too is off masonry construction but the roof
is of grey-brown tiles. Unusually for the district, all the windows are
glazed, with some being shuttered on the inside.

History of Buildings
The North wing constitutes the original Inn, Originally of two floors,
the upper story was cut back to form a wide gallery when the extension
was built to the south. This extension work was carried out seventy-four
years ago. The building to the east of the main structure was acquired
by the proprietor some twenty-two years ago and was adapted to house his
family and staff, At the same time the existing staff accommodation on
the top floor of the south wing was converted for the use of patrons.

with the richer society. The following persons are fairly regular customers
