Crown Hotel, Harrogate

The Crown Hotel is a historic building in Harrogate, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The hotel was originally opened in 1740 by Joseph Thackwray, and expanded to encompass a terrace of small houses. In 1806, Byron composed "Ode to a Beautiful Quaker", one of his first poems, while staying at the hotel. In 1822, Thackwray's great-nephew, also Joseph Thackwray, found several wells, which he directed to supply the hotel. In addition to hot and cold baths, he installed shower, vapour, medicated and fumigating baths. It was rebuilt in 1847, probably to the design of Isaac Thomas Shutt. In 1870 its single-bay wings were replaced by three-bay Italianate wings, designed by John Henry Hirst. In 1899, the east front was redesigned by William James Morley, who added a tower. The hotel was requisitioned by the government in 1939, and used by the Air Ministry until 1959, when it returned to use as a hotel. The building was grade II listed in 1975. The hotel is built of gritstone with hipped slate roofs. The original part has three storeys and attics, and five bays, the outer bays recessed. The three central bays have quoins, and above are pilasters with an entablature and a balustraded parapet. The windows are sashes in architraves, some with a pediment. In the centre is a Corinthian prostyle portico in antis. The flanking wings have three storeys and three bays each, and at the east end is a four-stage tower with a circular cupola. The ground floor is rusticated, and each bay contains a two-storey canted bay window with a blind balustraded balcony and cornices. Bow windows have been added at the sides and the rear. Inside, there is an Italianate entrance hall and dining room, and an open well staircase with an iron balustrade.

Hales Bar

Hales Bar is a pub in Harrogate, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The Promenade Inn, one of the first in the town, opened before 1766, when Tobias Smollett visited, later setting scenes in his novel The Expedition of Humphry Clinker in the pub. Two centuries later, some scenes in Chariots of Fire were also set in the pub. Despite its name, the building never served as a coaching inn. The building was reconstructed in about 1827. It was extended to the east in the 1856, and the older section was converted into a house. The pub was renamed "Hodgson's Bar" after its new landlord, and then in 1882 was renamed "Hales Bar" after his successor, William Hales. Part of the house was reconverted into the Vaults Bar in the 1960s, and the original Hales Bar was enlarged. The pub was refurbished in 2013. The building was grade II listed in 1975, and it has a two-star listing on the National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. The building lies on a corner site. It is built of gritstone with a slate roof. It has three storeys, two bays, one bay in the return, a bowed bay on the corner, and a three-bay gabled extension. In the original part is a public house front with pilasters and an entablature, and recessed sash windows. The extension has two storeys and an attic, and the entrance and windows have segmental heads and keystones. Inside, it retains gas lamps, a Victorian counter with two cigar lighters and a water tap, and a contemporary bar back with eight vats for spirits.
