The Blacksmiths Arms, Torrington Street, East-the-Water.
Good 18th century street facade with datestone ' 1 M M.1741' on keystone of centre window at first floor level. Interior much altered, further alterations planned. Some signs of earlier building suggested by thick wall behind bar, which would give a building of circa half the depth of the existing. Roof however all of one build, 18th century. Small barrel vaulted store at rear.
