2, Bridge Street

No. 2 Bridge Street is a shop built in 1842, featuring a late 19th-century shopfront and later alterations. It was designed by JB and W Atkinson for Mark Rooke. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and has a moulded and bracketed timber eaves cornice, with a brick stack on a slate roof.

The exterior is four stories tall with a single window front. The shopfront includes partly grooved pilasters with banded inserts of carved rosettes and scalloped capitals, along with a frieze between grooved brackets beneath a brattished modillion cornice. The shop window and door are from the 20th century. On the first floor, there is an inserted canted bay window with one-pane sashes and transom lights made of coloured glass. The second floor features a 12-pane margin-glazed sash window with slender glazing bars, while the third floor has an unequal 9-pane sash window. Both upper windows have painted stone sills and cambered brick arches.

Inside, there is a winder staircase with stick balusters, a shaped handrail, and a turned newel.
