Description

Pampers is a small house or shop, now functioning as a shop, dating from the early 19th century and altered over time. The building is constructed of brick, painted white with black dressings, and features a graduated slate roof. It has a double-depth, double-fronted plan and stands two low storeys high.

On the first floor, there are two windows; the central doorway is accompanied by a shop window to the right, which consists of eight large panes and is covered by a 20th-century canopy. To the left, there is a sashed window with eight panes in the upper leaf, although the lower leaf is now missing its glazing bars. A large 20th-century signboard is located in the center of the first floor, flanked by square sashed windows, each containing twelve panes (four in the upper leaf and eight in the lower). All these sashed windows have deep splayed heads made of gauged brick. The building currently has no chimneys.
