Description

No. 23 Newgate Street is a shop and offices that was originally built in the 18th century and remodelled in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of brick in English Garden Wall Bond, with 19th-century ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof. It stands three storeys high and features three windows.

The ground floor has five bays, with two-leaf, eight-panel doors set in architraves at the outer bays. A shop window is located between the doors, divided by rusticated Tuscan pilasters, and there is a dentil cornice above.

The first and second floors have rusticated quoins. On the first floor, there are two-pane sash windows in architraves, each with pulvinated friezes and pediments, while the centre bay features a semicircular pediment. The second floor has a sill band and smaller two-pane sashes in shouldered architraves.

The building is topped with a modillion cornice and a gabled roof that includes kneelers and chamfered coping. There are corniced ashlar end stacks.
