Description
33 Lower Bridge Street is a building that originally served as an undercroft and town house, now functioning as a shop and office. It has medieval origins but was largely rebuilt and refronted in the 18th and 19th centuries. The exterior is constructed of brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a grey slate roof that has a ridge at a right angle to the front. The building has four storeys and features two windows. The late 19th-century shopfront includes a recessed central door flanked by windows, each with one pane facing the street and one pane in the recess. It has panelled timber stall-risers, pilasters, and a banded pier on the north side that matches the one at No. 35 to the south. Each of the upper floors has two 4-pane windows, with sashes on the second and third storeys, and a combination of one sash and one casement on the fourth storey. The building also features brick bands, replaced tile sills, square lintels, and a replaced boxed verge.
Inside, the side walls of the former undercroft, now part of the shop, are likely medieval and made of stone, with the north wall measuring 700mm thick. The rear portion of the building, which may have been longer in the past, includes an 18th-century brick barrel vault.
