Clifton Hotel (Grade II Listed). The first hotel on this site was known as 'Forshaw's' and was built around 1780. It was at that time one of the four main lodging establishments in the town. It was partly demolished and reconstructed in 1865, the final reconstruction, leaving what can substantially be seen today, taking place in 1874. Originally brick faced with stone dressing it has since been stuccoed and rendered. It remains today as a fine example of mid-Victorian architecture.
