Description
Late C19 former shop with many original features.
Late 19th century end of terrace. Constructed of red/orange brick, orientated so that gable elevation
faces onto road. Forming part of the same building is a two storey single bay range set back to
form a terrace with 13 and 15, High Street and orientated with the ridgeline running parallel with
the carriageway. This range is constructed with buff coloured bricks and contains an original
timber sash to ground and first floor. The range orientated gable onto the street is also two
storeys in height and sits beneath a shallow hipped roof laid in slate. Two high brick stacks to right.
To ground floor is fantastic timber shop front dating from late 19th to early 20th century. Shop front
sits beneath protruding hipped veranda with timber pelmet. Original shop sign positioned on top of
veranda. Shop front is completely untouched – there is no other shop front of this type surviving
within the District. Internally the building retains elements of the original shop including work
counters and cool cabinets. To the rear of the building is the stable and slaughter house. This is a
unique and largely untouched building that is worthy of consideration for listing. Local Heritage Asset in conservation area (1).
