What is recorded here

Corner-sited end-of-terrace three-bay three-storey commercial building, built c. 1925, with chamfered corner to the north-east. Hipped slate roof with gabled dormers and having render parapet with limestone panels, copings and urns. Rendered walls to upper floors with ashlar limestone quoins, eaves course, and dressings to openings set in chamfered corner. Ashlar limestone walls to ground floor with string course between ground and first floors, and having carved fret surround to openings. Timber sash windows with moulded limestone sills to upper floors, and having wrought-iron balconies to openings set in chamfered corner. Fixed windows to ground floor, with bowed windows flanking glazed door.
Built as part of a terrace with the adjoining four buildings to the west, this terrace forms an interesting early twentieth-century piece in the urban landscape. The scale and form of this terrace make a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape. Though designed and constructed as a single piece with breakfront end bays, each building in the terrace is of different form and design. This building retains many interesting features and materials, such as the slate roof, timber sash windows, carved and ashlar limestone details, wrought-iron balconies and the bowed display windows.
