Description
No. 16 St James Street is a shop built in 1911 by H Thompson of Blackpool, designed in the Edwardian Baroque style. The building is made of sandstone ashlar and features a slate mansard roof. It is structurally connected to No. 18 (Yates Wine Lodge) on the right, forming a single rectangular bay that is positioned at right angles to the street. The building has two storeys plus an attic and consists of one bay. The ground floor has been altered, while the upper floor is designed with a semicircular open pediment that has ball-finial terminals, featuring a large Venetian window with an architrave and a crested cornice supported by consoles. The roof includes a flat-topped three-light dormer and a coped gable on the right, topped with a tall corniced chimney. The interior has not been inspected. Historically, this building, along with No. 18 (formerly known as the Boot Inn), was part of an architect's plan to replace former farm buildings on this site. It is included for its group value.
