GV II

Undercroft shop, Row shop and accommodation, now storage.
Probably c1860 in the manner of James Harrison. Sandstone and
timber framing, probably in part false, with plaster panels;
grey slate roof, ridge parallel with front. Proto Vernacular
Revival style.
EXTERIOR: 4 storeys, including undercroft and Row levels, plus
attics. Modern shopfront to street. Ornate cast-iron Row-front
railing, having panels with ornamented circles in squares;
sloping stallboard 1.82m from front to back and Row walk have
surfaces covered; painted stone cross-walls at ends of
stallboard; modern shopfront of no interest; panelled plaster
ceiling; painted brackets, probably of stone. The Row-top
bressumer has stop-chamfered arrises comparable with those by
James Harrison at Nos 40 & 51 Bridge Street Row (qv). The
third storey has shaped brackets surmounted by brattishing
beneath a pair of jettied 5-light mullioned casements with 2
transoms; quatrefoil and hollow-lozenge features. The fourth
storey has 2 ornate canted 6-light oriels on large moulded
corbels, with ornate sub-panels and corner colonnettes in C13
manner; blank tracery above upper lights; zig-zag-braced
panels between and to sides of oriels; above each oriel a
coved jetty and quatrefoil and trefoil panelling beneath a
5-light stepped casement with ogee heads to the side and upper
lights and spirally-moulded corner colonnettes on carved
corbels in dormer gables, with deep, moulded bargeboards. The
upper attic has a steep gabled lucarne with one ogee-headed
pane.
The west end-gable is of brown brick diapered in blue-black
and white brick.
INTERIOR: the only visible features of special interest are
some architraves, and small-pane rear sash windows. The east
side of this item, inspected from the rear and the fourth
storey front gallery of No.12 Eastgate Street and Row (qv)
rebuilt in 1861, shows that No.10 predates No.12.
