No.67

GV II

House in row, with shop. Mid or late C18 front, early/mid C16
main fabric. Rendered front, timber-framing, brick rear wing,
tile or asbestos-cement roof, brick stacks.
PLAN: front block, parallel to street and formerly jettied, is
set over a throughway at the right hand end, and has a rear
eaves stack, and a gable stack to a fireplace above the
throughway party wall. A deep rear wing runs back to the left.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attic and basement, 2-windowed. Dormer
and first-floor lights have been replaced in aluminium. The
ground floor has a good early C19 shop front, with bowed
12-pane oriels each side of a central part-glazed door under a
multi-pane transom-light, all to a plain fascia with lead
dressing over. Under the display windows are blocked cellar
openings, and a pavement access. To the right an arched
opening gives to the throughway. At the ridge, right, is a
cropped stack.
The rear wall of the street block has framing with brick
infill, and a lofty eaves stack. The rear roof slope has
asbestos-cement slates. The gabled wing has a steeply-pitched
tiled roof.
INTERIOR: the first-floor front room, orginally open to roof
has heavy braced framing to the party walls, and wide early
floor boards, which have been 'hogged' across the line of the
throughway wall beneath, without cracking or breaking. In a
back room one of the principal posts is cruck-like. The front
roof slope has wind bracing.
This is a typical example of an early structure being
concealed behind a heavily modified street front.
