What is recorded here

Terraced three-bay two-storey house, public house and shop with integral vehicular entrance, built c. 1890, having lean-to extension to rear. Currently not in use. Pitched slate roof with red brick and rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls with painted render quoins. Square-headed window openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows, having painted moulded render surrounds and painted render sills. Replacement uPVC windows to rear. Replacement roller door to vehicular entrance. Shopfront to ground floor, having painted timber fascia and cornice with dentils and with gold lettering, timber display windows with cast-iron window guards. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled double-leaf door. Timber battened door to rear. Single-storey pitched roof and lean-to extensions and timber and corrugated-iron outbuildings to rear. Timber counter to bar interior, with timber shelving, copper sink and timber panelled screen, and half-glazed timber panelled door leading to house.
This attractive terraced house and commercial premise makes an interesting addition to the streetscape and retains many notable internal and external features. The building has changed little since it was originally built, and retains much of its original form and character. Its shopfront is of particular interest, the lettering being very expertly executed.
