62, King Street

62 King Street is a shop building from the late 19th century that has been altered. It features painted stone and stucco with a hipped slate roof and a central gable. The building has a rectangular plan that runs at right angles to the street and stands three storeys tall with an attic. Its symmetrical design includes a wide gabled centre flanked by very narrow side bays, with a 1:3:1 window arrangement on the first floor. The ground floor showcases an original or restored three-bay shop front with a central entrance and flanking windows, framed by slender columns. The openings have wide simple tracery that forms arched heads with dagger spandrels. The first floor has three windows in the centre, adorned with ogee cresting and tall poppy-head finials that rise into enriched panels. The second floor features windows with rounded corners, while the third floor includes a false balcony made of stone, pierced with quatrefoils, and a large two-centred arched window with three cusped lights and fleur-de-lys blind tracery in the head. This window is topped by a gable that has an inverted-sword motif, although the finial that once topped it is now missing. The outer bays have narrow windows, and there are cartouches with escutcheons on the second floor.
