History

Built as a pair with No 4 - part ofa block including No 2 Bridge Street - in the 3rd quarter of the C19 and shown on the 1888 Ordnance Survey as the Holland Arms public house.

Exterior

A 3-storey single-bay shop with dwelling above, of scribed roughcast with graded slate roof on a moulded wooden eaves cornice. The lower storey has a late C20 shop front with recessed door on the L side, but the cornice of an earlier front has survived. Above is a 12-pane hornless sash window in the middle storey, and 9-pane sash window above, both with sill bands continuous with 2 Bridge Street. The L gable end, above 8 Bridge Street, is roughcast with small attic 2-pane sash, and a parapet concealing a gabled rear wing.

Reasons for Listing

Listed as a C19 commercial building on a prominent corner site, retaining some original detail in the continuing Georgian tradition, and for its contribution to the distinctive late C19 commercial character of Bangor Street, Bridge Street and Eastgate Street.
