The Foords Hotel
The Foords Hotel is a historic public house in Filey, a town in North Yorkshire, in England.
The building was constructed in about 1815,[1] to serve early visitors to the seaside resort. It was initially named the "New Inn", but was later renamed after Thomas and Mary Foord, who ran the pub. During the 19th century, it occasionally also served as the town's coroners court. The pub has a long association with the town's fishing industry, and the last two cobles are laid up around the back of the building. The pub also operates as a bed and breakfast.[2][3] The building has been grade II listed since 1960.[1]
The pub is built of whitewashed brick on a stone plinth, with stone dressings, a modillion eaves cornice and a slate roof. There are three storeys, three bays and a rear wing. The central doorway has attached Doric fluted columns, an entablature and a cornice, above which is a two-storey canted bay window. In the ground floor are tripartite windows, and above are sash windows, those in the middle floor with wedge lintels and keystones.[1][4]
