GV II

Warehouse, now shop and public house. Mid C18, altered and
extended late C19. Roughly coursed sandstone rubble with
ashlar dressings. Slate roofs. Tall chimney stacks above the
right-hand and left-hand side walls of the range on the left,
which has its gable to the road. This now has 3 storeys, but
the roof, which has strongly projecting but asymmetrical
verges, has obviously been lowered.
The facade is symmetrical with 2 loading slots with projecting
corbels on the first and second floors; between the slots is a
late C19 steel crane, and to either side on the first floor is
a roughly square window with plain jambs, that to the left
still has a square mullion. On the ground floor the loading
slots are glazed as shop windows, to right a doorway with a
plain surround.
Beyond this, on the right, is a 2-storey extension, enlarged
or remodelled in the late C19 under 2 roofs whose ridges run
parallel to the street and terminate in 2 timber-framed
projecting gables. Below the larger (left-hand) gable is a
canted oriel with a tile-hung apron above a tripartite
ground-floor window. In the gable are painted traces of the
name 'RICHARD HINDE'. To the right below the smaller gable a
tripartite sash above a small plain sash. Beyond is a further
extension under a cat-slide roof, which is carried down from
the rear of the main warehouse range.
INTERIOR: very large barrel-vaulted cellars under the main
range.
HISTORY: Richard Hinde was a wine and spirit merchant,
mentioned in directories of 1851 and 1913.
