From The Archaelogy Data Service:

The public house known as 'The Old Loyal Briton' was surveyed to Historic England level 2 standard prior to redevelopment. It comprised four main phases of building construction of which the southern block was the oldest. It dated from the early to mid-19th century and may have been converted from a terraced house which stood on the same plot with a beer cellar being dug to match the earlier building footprint. The south-facing facade of the building was a very unusual combination of an arcade formed from two semi-circular arches with a timber frontage set slightly behind them. A mid- to late-19th-century extension increased the size of the public house to the north and included the building of a new chimney stack at the northern end. Two further extensions in the early- to mid-20th-century increased the area of the building to the north and east.
