Description

September 1971. Grade II listed. Early 19th century shops with offices. They are built from painted brick and the roof is covered in Welsh slate with an off-centre chimney stack and plain parapet. The building is three storey, much like EHER 38329 which it abuts to the west, but has a three-window range rather than the two at EHER 38329. To the east, the building abuts the Moot Hall (EHER 7720). The central window on the first and second floors is a blind recess. The first floor has two canted oriel sash windows with lead flats and moulded cornices. These has internal folding shutters. The ground floor has two stuccoed contemporary shop fronts under an architrave with delicately moulded cornice, now obscured by 19th century blind boxes. The frame is comprised of nine thin panelled pilasters with consoles, two square shop windows, two shop doors and a central double door with raised-and-fielded panels and rectangular fanlight. The shop windows have elliptical-arched heads and fan detail on the spandrels. <1> See photo <2>.
