Shop, built as a motor car salesroom and workshop. Circa 1905. Rendered
(probably sandstone, material not visible); diminishing slate roof with red
crested ridge tiles. 2 storeys. Plan: shop (with offices over) with vehicular
access and workshop to rear partly included in lower rear wing. Front, 4 window
range the right-hand window bay curved towards street corner. Intact shop front
with dentilled fascia, pedimented pilasters each with decorative plaster motif
(fruit suspended from a shell); plate glass windows each with 3 upper lights,
and deeply recessed half-glazed door. 1st floor windows under pediments on con-
sole brackets, horned sashes in reveals with glazing bars to upper sash only.
Plaster festoons between the pediments; right-hand sash curved to accommodate
corner. Moulded gutter box with egg and dart. Rear wing with one 3-light
window under cornice on console brackets. Interior: evidence of rear vehicular
access and workshop. A good early-C20 shop front in an important position on
the east approach to the town. An important survival of the early motor-car
trade, purpose built but using traditional motifs. In 1910 (Kelly's Directory)
it was occupied by H S Jacques, motor-car retailer, one of the few operating in
Cumberland at this date.
