Description
St Werburgh Mount is a shop built in 1874 by architect John Douglas for leaseholder George Hodgkinson. It is part of a development that includes Nos 19-27 St Werburgh Street. The building features stone-dressed brick and timber framing with plaster panels, topped by a brown tile roof. It has two storeys and is triangular in shape, occupying a corner site.
The first storey is made of stone-dressed brick, with a red sandstone stall-riser and flush quoins at the corners. The shopfront includes a single stone step leading to a 9-panel door, with the upper six panels glazed. There is a 3-pane window and two stone steps leading to a door with four square panels above four long panels, which provides access to a staircase that leads north. This door has a stone lintel dated 1874.
The second storey features a moulded sole-beam and a mullioned and transomed window with three lights above the shopfront. The eaves are coved, and the hipped roof below the gable is decorated with a pargeted foliar and floral motif. The northern part of the building has two small partly leaded windows beneath a hipped roof that slopes down from the ridge over No. 19 St Werburgh Street. The interior has not been inspected.
