61,62, Saturday Market

No 61 and 62 on Saturday Market are mid-19th century shops and offices with later alterations. The buildings are constructed from red brick with painted stone dressings and feature a Welsh slate roof. They stand three storeys tall, plus attics, and have a three-bay return to Lairgate. The Saturday Market side has a recessed rounded corner bay on the first and second floors, with 20th-century shop fronts across the full width of the ground floor. Above the shop front of No 61, there is a heavily moulded sill stringcourse.

On the first floor, there are three four-pane sash windows; the central window is set in a pilastered surround topped with a decorated segmental pediment, while the side windows are small square oriel bays, also with pilastered surrounds and scrolled pediments. The rounded corner bay to the right features a round-headed casement in a pilastered surround with a keyed archivolt. The second floor has a heavily moulded sill stringcourse and three similar round-headed casements in pilastered surrounds, each with side scrolls at the base and moulded imposts. There is also a similar window with a keyed archivolt in the corner bay. The building is topped with a dentilled cornice supported by elaborate brackets, and the slate roof is hipped at the right corner with a brick ridge stack.

The elevation facing the old waste has paired four-pane sashes in an arched architrave at bay three and a blocked pilaster doorcase at bay four, with a curved shop front attached to the right. There is a heavily moulded sill stringcourse above five first-floor 20th-century round-headed casements in pilaster surrounds with keyed archivolts, with the windows in bay two being paired. The second floor features five similar windows in comparable surrounds, and the cornice matches that of the Saturday Market side. The mansard roof has three round-headed dormers. The Lairgate elevation includes blind recesses below flat arches on the first and second floors, with similar stringcourses and cornice, contributing to the overall group value of the building.
