Houses, now a public house. Early C18, altered C19 and
restored c1990. Painted roughcast over sandstone rubble, with
painted ashlar dressings. Slate roof with chimney stacks above
the party walls.
3 storeys above cellars. The facade facing west is of 3 bays
with sashed windows in painted stone surrounds. The
ground-floor openings are a restoration in painted concrete.
In the 3rd bay there is a doorway, with a 2nd doorway to its
left. Main entrance under the opening to Anchor Lane at right
angles to left. Above this, one window on each floor. Above
the archway at rear of opening a glazing bar sash window on
the 1st floor, and a 2-light window with a flat-faced mullion
above. The rear elevation to Lawson's Yard has several 2-light
mullioned windows with square flush mullions, and a
cross-window to light the stairs. Lawson's Yard is now glazed
over and gives access to No.22 Market Street and the building
to the rear (qv), which now partly form an annexe to the Blue
Anchor.
INTERIOR: the bar to the right of the entrance is a
scaled-down replica of the hull of the Lancaster privateer
'Thetis' which under Captain John Charnley fought off an
attack by the much larger French warship 'Bonaparte' off
Barbados in 1804. Beyond this a closed string staircase with 2
turned balusters per tread and a ramped handrail.
HISTORY: the Blue Anchor is said to have been a public house
in 1725, when the licensee was Robert Armstrong.
