Description
41-51 High Bridge is a building that dates from 1901-1902, originally designed by Cackett and Burns Dick. It was built as an extension of a hotel and now serves as shops and offices. The structure is made of ashlar with slate roofs and features various brick stacks. It is three stories high and has nine bays.
The central doorway has double panel doors with a segmental hood above, which includes an overlight and highly ornate keystone decoration, flanked by stubby Ionic columns. To the left, there is a bar with a central doorway and plate glass windows that are divided by Ionic pilasters, along with a goods entrance beyond. On the right, there are two shop fronts with panelled doors.
Above the shop fronts, there is an off-centre pair of sash windows under a single pedimented hood, with four pairs of sash windows on the left and two pairs of plain sashes on the right. These are flanked by single plain sashes that have bold rusticated surrounds, double keystones, and pediments. Above, there is a moulded cill band and seven pairs of small plain sashes, with a Doric column in between, and carved cartouches on either side, along with single small sashes beyond. The building is included for its group value.
