What is recorded here
Detached three-bay two-storey house and shop, built in 1916, abutting house to south. Fronts directly onto street. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Ruled-and-lined render to walls. Square-headed window openings with replacement uPVC windows and painted sills. Round-headed door opening with moulded stucco surround and tooled limestone threshold, replacement timber panelled door and fanlight. Timber shopfront to south with recessed central door flanked by splayed display windows. Timber fascia with raised lettering. Tiles to threshold.
This structure replaced an earlier pair of buildings, as seen on nineteenth-century Ordnance Survey maps. Simple in its form, its character is typical of urban dwellings that incorporate commercial premises. The shopfront is notable for its deeply recessed doorway and splayed windows, adding a sense of individuality.
