GV II

Former Co-operative Society premises originally comprising shops, warehousing, assembly rooms and offices; now in use as a range of shops with stores over. Opened 1887. By F Smith; extension of 1903 by W H Walsingham. Brick with terracotta and stone dressings, and Welsh slate roofs. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys, occupying corner site with 2 principal elevations. Main elevation faces north: 3 storeys, 4 bays, with tower over entrance to right of centre. Round-arched entrance doorway with segmental pedimented head. Facade strongly articulated as bays, separated by pilasters above the ground floor, and by rusticated piers at ground floor. Segmentally-arched windows to first floor (flat-arched over entrance), and large mullioned and transomed windows to second floor. Pedimented gable over each bay. Tower over entrance bay terminates in octagonal lantern and domed roof. Angled corner to Broughton Road to left stressed with pilasters sprung from corbels over ground floor, with round-arched entrance with enriched pedimented head, and bowed window with balustraded parapet with urn finials to first floor. Clock over second storey, and pedimented gable. Long elevation to Broughton Road of 5 principal bays, built in 2 phases, but employing similar style and decoration throughout. 3 right-hand bays form part of the original build, and like the entrance front, each bay is expressed beneath a stepped pedimented gable and divided by coupled pilasters above ground floor level, painted rusticated pilasters at ground floor. Shop fronts in each bay largely inserted, though keeping to the original rhythm and articulation of the facade. At first-floor level, each bay has paired windows with mullions and shallow segmentally-arched heads with fluted keystones. Octagonal turret rises between 2 left-hand bays, which form the addition of 1903. The 2 gables are symmetrically arranged, and each has pedimented gable and pilasters to second storey. Varied fenestration, with wide 3-light window flanked by narrower windows, all with segmentally-arched heads and wrought-iron balconettes in left hand gable. Tiered central window to second floor, with stone mullions and central round-arched light with transom over,

flanked by pilasters which rise each side of pedimented head. Paired segmental windows to right-hand gable, and mullioned and transomed windows at second floor. Central octagonal turret springs from corbel over ground floor, and terminates in ribbed domed cap with fleche. Rear elevation to Sovereign Street of 5 storeys with loading bays to right, and regular fenestration. INTERIOR not inspected. HISTORICAL NOTE: the building was built to incorporate offices, board room and assembly room, as well as stores and shops, and the 1903 extension added committee rooms, offices, hall, shops and show rooms.
