Description: | The Sun had a front entrance through a porch which was to one side of the building. To the right was a tap room lighted by one window whilst to the left were three windows, which lighted the hotel potion and the private rooms. A low paling ran along the whole length of the building with the exception of the width of the porch, and connected with it was a strong seat on which customers and others could sit and watch the river.
The landlord at one time was George Hewett who used to sell tea in packets that had been bought by his brother in India. There were stables and a yard at the back with an entrance from Shore Road and beyond the stables a piece of ground where the game of quoits used to be played.
The building was demolished about 1905 and was replaced by the Rising Sun.
