History

Built in the third quarter of the C19 and first shown on the 1890 Ordnance Survey. It was a clothes store in 1895.

Exterior

Belongs to a group of 4-14 Eastgate Street.

A block of shops with dwellings above in eclectic classical style, stucco front walls with slate roofs, slightly lower and hipped to No 4, and roughcast stacks. 3 storeyed details to the middle and upper storeys are consistent although the number of windows in each property is varied. Each property is framed by angle pilasters in middle and upper storeys and articulated by a frieze and deeply moulded cornice forming a sill band to the upper storey. The middle storey windows have moulded architraves with sill band. The upper storey has segmental-headed windows in plain architraves. A moulded eaves cornice comprises brackets alternating with raised quatrefoil panels.

A 3-window range with shop front in the lower storey. The shop front is mid C20. The middle and upper storeys retain original 2-light casements beneath fixed lights in the middle storey, and 4-pane sash windows in the upper storey.

Reasons for Listing

Listed as a strongly detailed late C19 commercial terrace, and for its contribution to the historic townscape of Eastgate Street, Bangor Street and Bridge Street, which retains a distinctive late C19 commercial character.
