Terrace of shops, incorporating a dwelling to the rear. c1500,
substantially remodelled post 1700, and with subsequent
alterations and additions in C19 and C20. Coursed coal measures
sandstone, encasing the substantial remains of a close studded
timber frame, the exterior stonework now largely concealed by
roughcast and smooth render. Originally a T-plan house, now
with a gabled addition to the rear, and flat roofed single
storey shop units added at the front. C19 casement windows and
some C20 frames to the first floor of street elevation. The
timber frame survives at first floor level, although the corner
posts may remain full height in some areas. Four bay main range
with close studded partition walls into the attic floor. The
north-east gable survives and is partially exposed in the
attached property at first floor level and contains a close
studded truss with corner posts having massive jowelled heads
and arch braced tie beam, with a collar above. The truss
supports a double purlin roof and there are substantial
windbraces within the attic. To the rear of the property,
within the angle of two ranges at the north-east end, is a
square stone tower, partially rendered, with capped at eaves
level. This may have been an external stack. The single storey
shop units to the street frontage are not of special interest.
