N (REAR) ELEVATION: rectangular stairwell to outer left, 1st floor window with carved date 1790 to lintel. Small single storey brick infill to right.
12-pane timber sash and case windows, 12-pane fixed windows to stairwell. Purple slate; substantial brick apex stacks.
INTERIOR: 19th century shop with built-in timber and glass cabinets. Remainder not seen 1994. There is a vault below No28 which was briefly used as a prison in the 18th century.
The form of the stacks is of particular interest, verging unexpectedly on square section.
