History

Nos 1-9 High Street were built in the mid C19 and are shown on the 1871 Tremadog estate plan and 1888 Ordnance Survey. Built originally as shops with houses above, early photographs show the façade stone-faced, which was later concealed by slate hanging. Nos 7-9 was a drapers shop from at least 1871.

Exterior

One of a row of 4 late-Georgian style 3-storey 2-window shops with houses above. They have slate-hung fronts, a slate roof hipped to the R end (No 1) where the corner is also splayed, with transverse stone stacks and a fourth, pebble-dashed stack at the R end. The houses are not of equal width. No 1 is the widest, Nos 7 and 9 are narrower than No 3.

No 7 has its entrance to the L, a recessed replacement glazed door under an overlight, to the R of which is a replacement shop window in an earlier opening, and under a modern fascia. Middle and upper storeys of Nos 7 and 9, now a single premises, have hornless sash windows similar to Nos 1 and 3 but in which the glazing bars in the lower sashes have been removed.

The rear, where Nos 3, 7 and 9 are set slightly back from No 1, is of rubble stone laid in rough courses. No 7 retains some small-pane sashes. Nos 7-9 have a 2-storey rear roughcast wing, which has a pebble-dashed front facing the lane at the side of the block. It has C20 horned sash windows, renewed external steps at the L end to a replacement first-floor door, and a half-glazed door and shop window inserted in a former wide doorway.

Interior

Not inspected.
