House and shop, now shop. Circa 1836, probably by John Wardle, for Richard
Grainger. Sandstone ashlar with later pink granite and terra-cotta columns to shop;
roof not visible. 3 storeys, 5 bays. Central renewed double door under swan-neck
pediment, with keyed roundel and garlands, recessed between tall shop windows with
slender glazing bars; Jacobean-style columns flank door. Rusticated pilasters
define end bays containing 6-panelled double doors and high overlights with
patterned glazing bars. Ground floor fascia and cornice. First floor sill
string to sashes in architraves, the central with blind balustrade and bracketed
pediment, the outer bays with cornices. Second-floor architraves have bracketed
sills. All windows have glazing bars. Bracketed top cornice and balustrade.
This building has been redeveloped behind the facade, so only the facade is of
interest.
