House, now public house. Late C18, altered C19. Sandstone ashlar with rubble, partly rendered on sides and rear. Slate roofs with kneelers and with copings partly remaining. Double-depth plan with a central doorway, gable chimney stacks, and a full-height extension to the left. 3 storeys above cellars which are expressed as a plinth with large stones, and 5 bays between chamfered quoins. All the openings have plain surrounds. The doorway is recessed up 4 steps, and there is a low entrance to the cellar under the ground-floor window of the fifth bay. Cellar openings in the first and second bays are partly blocked. The lintels of the second-floor windows are continued to form a deep band, and all the windows are sashed without glazing bars. HISTORY: in 1890 a horse tram service to Morecambe was started, with a terminus in nearby Stonewell, and with some stables behind what is now the Tramway Hotel.
