GV II

Shop, now restaurant, with house above. Between 1889-1893, probably by EH Back for CR Cranford. Mixed construction; stone rubble with brick and Bathstone dressings and timber-framed show front; stacks in the party walls with brick chimneyshafts; flat roof. PLAN: Double-depth, 2 rooms wide with entrance lobby and stairs to left. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys; symmetrical 2-window range. Ornamental show front in a distinctive Elizabethan style. Timber-framed with jettied floors, projecting bays, balustraded balconies. Ground-floor left is the house doorway; painted stone with a moulded surround. Shop front is largely original with central recessed doorway. Symmetrical 2-window front above. Balconies across both floors. Second-floor balcony is 4 bays in same style as those next door at No.1 (qv). First-floor balcony interrupted by projecting bay windows in different style and may be secondary. Bays contain ovolo-moulded 2-light mullion-and-transom windows, larger lower lights containing original horned sashes without glazing bars, surrounded by Jacobean-style pargetting which includes the initials RC, thought to belong to CR Cranford. Similar windows on the second floor with glazed doors alongside onto the balcony. Timber moulded cornice above. Framing creates narrow panels which are slate-hung; full-width slates with toothed edges, alternately grey and purple. INTERIOR: Contains original detail including the staircase and, at ground-floor level, papier-mache frieze.
