What is recorded here

Terraced two-bay four-storey former house, built c. 1850, now in use as retail outlet. Pitched slate roof with rendered parapet and rendered chimneystack. Rendered walls having raised render surrounds to upper floor openings. Replacement casement windows to upper floors. Shopfront, c. 1970

This former house forms part of an interesting group with the adjoining terrace on the east side of North Main Street and with the terrace on the west side of the street. The scale and form of these buildings make a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape. Built on the site of the medieval city, many of these buildings contain archaeological fabric.
