History

Built in the 2nd half of the C19 and shown on the 1889 Ordnance Survey. The R-hand shop front is later, probably mid C20.

Exterior

Two shops and a house in a 3-storey 3-bay range of pebble-dashed front painted cream, smooth-rendered rusticated quoins and plain architraves, slate roof and end stacks. The strongly designed lower storey comprises a central house entrance flanked by shop fronts, the whole framed by fluted pilasters, fascia with end brackets flanking each shop and a moulded cornice. The L-hand shop retains original detail. It has cast-iron grilles to plain stall risers, plate glass windows with slender colonnettes, supporting brackets with sunburst fluting. The recessed entrance has a panelled soffit, a glazed door with lower panel, and overlight. The later R-hand shop front has a splayed window on a mosaic stall riser, and has a recessed glazed door and overlight on the R. The tripartite shop window has wood mullions and transom.

The 1st floor has oriel windows R and L, and narrower central window in an eared architrave. All have T-shaped windows inserted in original openings. In the second floor are similar windows inserted in gabled openings R and L, with moulded brick finials to the gables, and in the centre is a replacement 2-light window with sill band.

In the R gable end the 1st and 2nd floors have, on the L side, replacement windows in original eared architraves. The rear is rubble stone to the basement and lower storey, and comprised of brick and timber-framed partition walls above, where the shadow of the gable of a former building facing Lancaster Square remains visible.

Interior

Not inspected.
