rear wall, the latter now with patches of red brick showing.
Double-depth plan. Wedge-shaped (hence its name) with the
narrow end fronting King Street. 4 storeys. 1 window wide to
King Street. The latter front, which is the show-face of the
building, has a late C20 bow window in ground storey.
2-storeyed early C20 canted bay window above with leaded
lights and imitiation timber-framing. 2-light wood casement
window in fourth storey. Right side wall has C20 wood
casements; 3-paned fixed sash in fourth storey. Left side wall
has late C20 door and bow windows; also 3 small older windows,
1 blocked, the other 2 with plain wood casements. Rear wall
has a single 4-paned wood casement. Front and sides of
building have a boxed gutter on shaped brackets, resembling an
eaves-cornice. A late C19 or very early C20 photograph of the
building is displayed in the shop window. It is titled YE OLDE
COFFIN HOUSE and has W.CROCKER SHAVING SALOON written on a
shop window with canted sides. Upper storeys have box-framed
sashes with glazing bars. The building is important for its
position at the junction of Temperance Place and King Street,
both of which contain considerable numbers of listed
buildings.
