What is recorded here

End-of-terrace four-bay three-storey house, built c.1900, with modern three-storey over basement extension to rear housing apartments. Pub and shopfront inserted to ground floor. Fronts directly onto Market Square. Pitched tiled roof with terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Pebbledashed walls. Timber sash windows with smooth rendered reveals and stone sills. Timber shopfront comprising intermittent pilasters with carved detailing, display windows, timber and glass door with fascia above.

The scale and form of this corner-sited building is in keeping with the other buildings in Birr's Market Square. The carved decoration to its timber shopfront is skillfully executed and adds an artistic interest to an otherwise unadorned building.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
