A DARLINGTON pub could see repair and replacement work done to it a planning application to Darlington Borough Council has revealed.
The Bay Horse, in Hurworth-on-Tees, could see the repair and replacement of eight windows on the front of the building on both the ground and first floor.
The work could see the current windows replaced with single glazed timber windows to match the historic aesthetic.
The listed building dates back to early 18th and later 19th century and according to the Heritage Assessment, was featured in the 1834 edition of Pigot's Durham Trade Directory listed under Robert Hodgson as publican.
It continues to say "at this time there was one other public house in the village, the Wheat Sheaf.
"Hurworth was a vibrant and affluent village on the banks of the River Tees. The 1851 and 1861 census records George Craddas as Victualler (Inn Keeper) of the Bay Horse, with his two sons and servants.
"In 1911 the innkeeper was Herbert John Brown, living with his wife and one servant."
