Dennehy’s Fish Shop

Semi-detached three-bay two-storey with attic house, built c.1740, now with commercial premises to ground floor. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, shared rendered chimneystack to east and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls to first floor with smooth render to ground floor and chamfered corner to west. Square-headed window openings in moulded render surrounds with render sills and one-over-one timber sliding sash windows at first floor level. Shopfront comprises square-headed display windows with uPVC replacement windows flanking square-headed door opening in moulded render surround with replacement door. Street-fronted.

Located in Blackpool, once a separate village outside the city, this modest house and its neighbour make an eye-catching contribution to the streetscape. The steeply pitched roofs and substantial chimneystacks are particularly noteworthy and are indicative of an early construction date. Though the facades have been altered and remodelled and the historic joinery replaced, the overall eighteenth century form, appearance and scale of the pair is significant.
