GV II
House at junction of two principal streets, with shop. Early
C19 facade, some C18 interior detail. Flemish bond brickwork,
slate roof, brick stacks. A tall building with a splayed
corner, and parapet cropped close to third-floor window heads;
the property links the last building in the main run in High
Street with the first in Barton Street.
4 storeys, 1:1:1-windowed. 12-pane (horizontal) sash at third
floor, above 16-pane at first and second floors, all to brick
voussoirs and central fluted keystone with cornice. C20
plate-glass shop front to each facet, with deep-set doors on
splay front. A large stone panel inscribed 'Frisby's' has
replaced the central first-floor window.
INTERIOR, which links with No.1, Barton Street (qv), is very
simple, with remnants of contemporary stick-baluster
staircases, and 2 blocked fireplaces, one of these with eared
architrave.
This building is a key element in the townscape at the
junction of the three main streets, The Cross; the top courses
of the walling, just below the parapet, are a rebuilding. A
1960 photograph in the NMR shows the first-floor splay to have
a glazing-bar sash where the inscribed panel is located.
(Photograph in National Monuments Record: 1960-).
