parapet and a moulded stone cornice. Slate roof.

The 3 shops have C20 fronts, No.9B in Regency style. The

flat gauged arches; external shutters to the ground storey
window and a door with flush panels.

walling on which large simulated stone blocks have been
outlined. A stone pillar supporting a ceiling beam has a
Norman nook shaft and another similar shaft is embedded in the
walling. No features exposed within any of the shops, but some
exposed timbering in the top storey of the Skinner Street
range.
