Description
No. 48 on King Street is a shop built around 1860-1880, which has been altered over time. It features red brick with sandstone dressings and a slate roof, with a narrow rectangular plan positioned at right angles to the street. The building is designed in a Gothic style and has three storeys with three narrow bays. The ground floor has a 20th-century shop front framed by original columns that have crocket caps and enablatures, along with a moulded frieze. The upper floors are adorned with brick corner pilasters and a panelled band between the floors. There is a moulded main cornice that is broken in the centre by a large two-centred arch that rises into a steeply-pitched gable, which extends above the parapet. Each floor has sashed windows of one, three, and one lights, with transoms on the second floor. Additionally, there is a prominent stone balcony at the centre of each floor, featuring bowed wrought-iron railings, and a carved stone tympanum above the centre windows on the second floor.
