The Cambria Inn was constructed sometime after 1840 as part of the development of residential housing in Cambria Street (Nprn 415993), the site having formerly been a tannery. Certainly, the inn was in operation by March 1879 when the publican, Mary Thomas, was charged with permitting drunkenness on the premises and fined £5 plus costs. The inn occupies the corner of Cambria and Thomas Streets with wings facing both streets. The wing facing Cambria Street has two storeys with a chimney is the left had gable end. There are two sash windows on the second storey, between which is the pub sign, displaying a sailing ship. There is a third window in the first storey directly under the right window. Under the left window is a door. All of these openings are framed in black. In the Thomas Street gable end of this wing are two further windows which nearly abut onto the Thomas Street wing. They are also framed in black. The Thomas Street wing abuts onto the rear of the Cambria Street wing. It is also two storeys with chimneys at both ends. The second storey has a large square window to the left and two smaller vertical windows to the right. The first storey has a square window with a black hoodmould containing two vertical sash windows. There is a door in the centre of this wing with two small vertical windows just to the right of it. Over all three is a continuous black hoodmould. This site should not be confused with the Cambria Vaults, which was located in Market Street.
