47 High Street, Crowle

Shop, C19.

MATERIALS: colour-washed red brick with hipped orange pantile roof.

PLAN: rectangular-plan.

EXTERIOR: The single-bay, single-storey, street frontage (east elevation) has a fifteen-light timber shop front with a fielded-panel door beneath a rectangular fanlight at its northern end. The door and window are within a timber surround that has ribbed pilasters with plain bases, carrying an entablature with dosserets, a plain frieze with name board, and a shallow leaded hood, beneath a low parapet wall with flat coping stones. The southern elevation is blind and has an exposed brick dentil course to the eaves. The north elevation is similar in appearance; however, the position of a bricked-up window and doorway is evident in the brickwork. The west (rear) elevation has an off-set plain timber door and an exposed brick dentil course to the eaves. The hipped pantile roof has terracotta ridge tiles, and it is carried out beyond the line of brick eaves to drain into cast-iron rainwater goods.

INTERIOR: Originally a single room, the interior has been sub-divided into an offset axial passageway with white tiled walls. The central spine wall on the southern side of the passageway is pierced by three doorways that give access to toilet cubicles. A plain raised timber door in the east wall gives access to the shop window.

Pursuant to s.1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (‘the Act’) it is declared that the internal spine wall, tiled floors and surfaces, toilet cubicles and fittings are modern additions and are not of special architectural or historic interest.
