Description
Number 2 and the adjoining shop, known as Central Stores, were built in 1843. The structure is made of rubble with sandstone dressings and features a slate roof. It stands two storeys tall. The right side of the facade slightly projects and is gabled, containing the shop entrance. The windows have projecting chamfered stone surrounds and hoods. On either side of the shop door, there is a window with a wooden mullion and transom. The single window on the first floor also has a wooden mullion and small panes, and above it is a stone shield inscribed with 'EB 1843'. The doorway features a chamfered stone surround with a Tudor-arched head.
The left side of the facade consists of two bays, with dressings that match the rest of the building, and it is either from the same period or a conversion of an earlier structure. The right bay has a wooden mullion and transom on the ground floor and a wooden mullion with small panes on the first floor. To the left on the first floor, there is a one-light window with a projecting chamfered surround and a segmental head, along with a door that has a chamfered stone surround, a triangular head, and a hood. To the left of this door is a plain stone door surround that has been blocked to form a window. The gutter is supported by paired projecting stone brackets.
The right-hand return wall of the shop, facing Town End, features one bay with a steep narrow gable topped with a wooden finial. The windows here also have chamfered stone surrounds, with the first-floor window having a segmental head. Each window includes a wooden mullion and transom, along with small panes. There is a cellar opening with a plain stone surround. To the left of the first-floor window is a plaque that reads 'Waterloo Buildings'.
