"Pair of small shops with former dwelling over, now integrated as one shop with store over. Said to be C17 [in former list], but appears to be later: probably C18. Ground floor of painted stone, jettied upper floor of painted roughcast render, probably on a timber frame; stone slate roof. Single-depth rectangular plan parallel to street, 3 structural bays (as defined by roof trusses); plus a short set-back portion to the left."
"EXTERIOR: 2 low storeys, 2:2 windows, the upper floor of the main range jettied or cantilevered out on the projected ends of 3 square-sectioned beams asymmetrically grouped near the centre, the 2nd and 3rd now supported by simple cast-iron columns. Under these beams are 3 doorways (1 to the left and 2 to the right), that to the left wider with C20 double doors and the others with C19 panelled doors. Continued to the left of the left doorway is a 6-pane shop window with thin glazing bars, and to the right of the right-hand doorway a smaller oblong window without glazing bars. The jettied upper floor has 2 tall widely-separated 2-light casements with 4-pane lights and slender glazing bars. The left return of the upper floor has a very narrow window with a transom. Gable chimney to left. The short set-back portion to the left has alley doors at ground floor and small 2-light casements above. Rear: C20- dormer visible."
"INTERIOR: 2 pegged principal-rafter roof trusses with curved angle-braces, carrying 2 pairs of trenched purlins; timber partition under the 1st of these trusses."
