History

A C19 shop and house first shown on the 1889 Ordnance Survey. Originally known with No 8 as Regent House. An early C20 photograph shows the present shop front, when it was occupied by J.P. Griffiths, draper. Later converted to 2 shops.

Exterior

Three-storey 3-window shops and house in late-Georgian style. Of scribed roughcast painted white, slate roof, with central and end roughcast stacks. The shop on the R (No 6) has a recessed glazed shop door and overlight, flanked by round-headed shop windows with colonnettes and panelled spandrels. A narrow round-headed panel further L separates the 2 shop fronts. The L-hand shop window (No 6a) has 2 similar round-headed lights, and the entire shop front is beneath a plain black fascia with end consoles and moulded cornice. At the L end is the house entrance, also later converted for entrance to the L-hand shop, which has a half-glazed replacement door and overlight.
In middle and upper storeys the central windows are offset to the R. Windows have moulded architraves painted black and are 12-pane hornless sashes in the middle storey and shorter 9-pane sashes in the upper storey.
The rubble-stone rear has altered windows.
