26 AND 28, PAVEMENT

This building, originally a house dating to around 1700, now functions as shops and offices. It incorporates elements of an earlier structure and features an early 19th-century extension. The front facade is built of orange brick in a Flemish bond pattern, while the rear is rendered. It has a timber eaves cornice with decorative modillions. The front roof is slate, and the rear roofs are covered in pantiles, with brick stacks.

The building is three storeys high with attics and has a five-bay front, with a shallow central bay projecting forward. The first and second floor windows are 15-pane sashes, with painted sills and narrow flat arches constructed of gauged brick. A painted band runs along the second floor, and a broader frieze band sits beneath a heavy, moulded cornice. The attic windows are flat-roofed dormers with 2x6-pane horizontal sliding sashes. The rear of the building exhibits three-storey, twin-gabled wings; the wing on the right is partially obscured by number 54 Fossgate. Visible rear windows are 12-pane sashes set within cambered brick arches.

The interior was not inspected for listing purposes. Records indicate original staircases on the upper floors with bulbous, turned balusters and a close string. A timber post-and-stud construction is visible on the second floor.
