34-40, Keirby Walk

34-40 Keirby Walk is a commercial building, likely used for shops and offices, built around 1870 and altered since then. It is constructed from punch-dressed sandstone ashlar and features a slate roof in a Venetian style. The building has a shallow rectangular plan that backs onto the River Brun and consists of three storeys above a double basement.

The façade has five windows plus a single-window splayed corner on the right. It includes a chamfered plinth, sill bands on all floors, stone bracketed eaves, and a dogtooth cornice. The ground floor features segmental-pointed openings, with doorways in the fourth bay and at the corner, both adorned with carved canopies on squat corbelled colonnettes topped with crocketed caps. There are coupled windows in the fifth bay with similar colonnettes and canopies, along with single, coupled, and single windows in the first three bays, the first of which has been altered to serve as a doorway. All these openings have polychrome relieving arches.

The upper floors contain 4-pane sashed windows with chamfered jambs and lintels decorated with roundels. The first-floor windows have segmental-pointed hood-moulds with foliated stops. The roof is hipped and features one ridge chimney. At the rear, there are two basement storeys with relieving arches over the windows, which have been variously altered, and 4-pane sashed windows on the upper floors. The interior was not inspected during the survey.
