Description
29 Castle Hill is a mid-18th century warehouse that has been altered and extended in the late 19th century. It is constructed from roughly coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features slate roofs. The building has tall chimney stacks on both the right-hand and left-hand side walls, with the gable facing the road. Although it now has three storeys, the roof has been lowered and has strongly projecting but asymmetrical verges.
The symmetrical facade includes two loading slots with projecting corbels on the first and second floors. Between these slots is a late 19th-century steel crane. On either side of the first floor are roughly square windows with plain jambs, one of which retains a square mullion. The ground floor loading slots have been glazed as shop windows, with a doorway featuring a plain surround to the right.
To the right, there is a two-storey extension that was enlarged or remodelled in the late 19th century, featuring two roofs with ridges that run parallel to the street and terminate in two timber-framed projecting gables. Below the larger left-hand gable is a canted oriel with a tile-hung apron above a tripartite ground-floor window. The gable displays painted traces of the name 'RICHARD HINDE'. Below the smaller gable on the right is a tripartite sash window above a small plain sash. Further right is another extension under a cat-slide roof, which extends from the rear of the main warehouse range.
Inside, there are very large barrel-vaulted cellars beneath the main range. Historically, Richard Hinde was a wine and spirit merchant, noted in directories from 1851 and 1913.
