Description



SD4108SE
663-1/8/164

ORMSKIRK
MOOR STREET
(North side)
Nos.29, 29A, 31, 31A

II

Pair of shops with dwellings over. Early C18; altered.
Handmade red brick in English garden wall bond (except
facades, which are of C19 common brick in Flemish bond, that
to No.31 now mostly rendered); slate roofs.
U-plan astride a common wagon entry, with coupled main ranges
at right-angles to the street, and back extensions.
Two-and-a-half storeys, 2+1 windows at 1st floor.
The ground floor has C20 shop fronts to either side, and a
basket-arched wagon entry in the centre, with a gauged brick
head, rectangular recesses in the side walls for former double
doors, a ceiling supported by 4 beams (the first with keeled
ovolo moulding and the others with stopped chamfer) and a
cobbled and stone-flagged cart track leading through.
No.29 has two 12-pane top-hung casements at 1st floor (one
over the entry), and another at 2nd floor, all with raised
sills and wedge lintels. No.31 has render painted to resemble
half-timbering, and one altered window on each floor.
Rear: short gabled back extensions, variously altered, that to
No.29 with an extruded chimney stack which has offsets on one
side; and C20 extensions beyond these.
INTERIOR: No.29 has chamfered ceiling beams at ground floor,
and between 1st and 2nd floors a dog-legged early C18
staircase with closed string, turned balusters, square newels
and moulded handrail; and both have roughly-hewn purlin roofs.
HISTORY: probably the only surviving example of its type in
this small market town.
