Description


HEREFORD

SO5140SW HIGH TOWN 683-1/8/192 (South side) 24/09/86 No.26

GV II

House, now shop. Probably C16, altered in the C17, especially internally, and refronted in the early C19, with mid-to-late C20 alterations. Timber-framed with facade plastered, probably over brick; parapet hiding roof, probably of slate. 4 storeys; 2 window range: 1st floor windows blind, with glazing bar sashes on the 2nd floor and smaller casements on the 3rd floor; all windows in raised, moulded surrounds. Thin band over later C20 glazed shop front. INTERIOR: virtually complete timber-frame, though the floor structure of the 1st floor was largely cut away at the time that the supermarket was extended into the building, probably during the 60's. At the same time the upper floors of the building were abandoned and the rear staircase removed. 1st floor retains, however, a C17 plaster ceiling, enriched, in panels framed by downstanding girding beams.
