Nos.8 AND 9
GV II
Pair of shops. Mid to later C19, remodelled and shop-fronts
added in late C19.
Painted brick with rusticated stone quoins to the centre,
plate glass shop windows in frames of wood and cast-iron;
slate roof. Double-depth with long back extensions.
Two storeys in a 3-bay composition with a narrow centre which
breaks forward slightly and is divided between the two; a
moulded cornice, blocking course and shallow central pediment.
The principal features of interest are the shop fronts, that
to No.8 occupying the original ground floor left of the centre
and that to No.9 entirely replacing the original ground floor
and extending it out to the right, and replacing most of the
1st floor also.
No.8 has an elegant projected double-fronted shop front with a
recessed entrance flanked by bay windows of plate glass with
curved corners, each with 2 slender colonettes in Ionic style
and overlights with rectilinear glazing bars which form a
rectangular panel in the centre of each light, including the
curved returns and the overlight of the original outer doorway
which links them. (To the right of the shop-front is an
altered doorway which had a pilasterd architrave until
recently).
No.9 has a much wider double-fronted and 2-storey shop front
which is symmetrical (in itself), with a deeply recessed
central entrance flanked by very wide plate glass windows at
ground floor and a narrower tripartite window above, the
entrance and all the windows having slender columns and
ogee-shaped tracery to the heads.
An unusual survival. Forms group with Market Hall in Square.
