Northern Goldsmiths

Northern Goldsmiths is a jewellers shop with offices and workshops above, built around 1895 and altered around 1932. It was designed by James Cackett and later modified by Burns Dick and Mackellor. The building features ashlar stonework with ashlar dressings and has Welsh slate roofs. It is located on a corner site and consists of four storeys with attics.

The exterior facing Blackett Street has a six-window front arranged in a 2:4 pattern. It includes original shopfronts with later etched plate glass windows. To the left, there is a single rusticated pilaster and a recessed glass doorway. The first floor has deeply set sash windows in rusticated and moulded ashlar surrounds, with a central tripartite window featuring a triple keystone on the right. Above this, there is a similar window arrangement with pilasters and a Venetian window to the right. The next level has six round-headed windows with coupled Doric columns, with the left side topped by an ornate pediment. The attic features a single dormer window on the right with two sashes and a shallow pediment. The curved corner section has curved shop windows, with a blind central opening on the first floor that has a cantilevered square clock topped with a female figure, added around 1932 and designed by Alfred Glover. Flanking this are single round-headed openings with shell hoods. Above is a canted projecting bay window with three sashes and columns, and set back above are three more sashes also with columns. The corner is topped with a circular cupola featuring round-arched windows and ornate carved decoration, finished with a painted dome.

The Pilgrim Street front has six windows arranged in a 4:2 pattern, with original shopfronts and later etched plate windows. To the left is a single doorway with a rusticated surround. This facade is very similar to that on Blackett Street. The interior has not been inspected.
