The Anchor Hotel enjoys a commanding position on the corner of High Street and Quay Street. Conducted in 1921, exterior remodelling to the ground floor affords the building a square appearance from street level but a glance at the upper floors from the corner of Quay Street will reveal a clear demarcation and frontage to the High Street. The building is accessed via two fine pedimented doorways. Four uniform bays front the High Street and, above, it is possible to determine the original pitched roof line before a Georgian-type makeover. The interior was once treated to a splendid Victorian refurbishment of mahogany bars, substantial sized mirrors and tiling though the appearance was spoilt when the pub was redecorated in 1971. The date 1774 can be seen on the inn sign and this has been confirmed as the period when the building was occupied by the Sandilands family.
