Drawing by WH Knowles 1884 of possibly the back of the Hen and Chicken Public House. Appears to be three stories. An L-shaped building with one plain gable and a larger gable with a convex bulge above the shoulder. The lean-to extension is of timber frame. The eaves have timber traces beneath them suggesting that this building is all or part timber.
