34, Coney Street

No. 34 Coney Street is a shop and flat built around 1880, with alterations and restoration carried out in 1991. The building features cream brick in Flemish bond and has cast-iron shopfronts topped with a slate roof.

The exterior consists of four storeys and an attic, with a three-bay front. The shopfront is supported by Composite columns and has a cornice adorned with acanthus volutes, featuring 20th-century plate glass windows and a door. A similar shopfront on the first floor has fluted Composite columns and a dentilled cornice, also with three segment-headed lights. The windows on the second and third floors are replacements with three lights. At the rear, the building has four storeys and one bay, with openings on the ground and first floors boarded up. A canted bay window extends through the second and third floors, featuring sashes on both floors, although the centre sash on the second floor is blocked, and there is a 4-pane window on the third floor.

Inside, there are no original fittings remaining on the ground and first floors. From the second floor, an open string staircase with turned balusters, a turned newel, and a serpentine handrail leads up to the attic. The front room on this floor has a Doric marble fireplace with triglyph frieze blocks and a plain mantelshelf, along with a cast-iron fireplace featuring angle roundels and tiled reveals. The moulded ceiling rose and cornice are partly restored. In the room behind the staircase, there is an early 20th-century cooking range. The rear room has a marble chimneypiece with a corbelled shelf on pilasters and tiled reveals, along with a plain ceiling cornice and rose.

On the third floor, the front room features a fire surround with a corbelled shelf, a cast-iron grate with a floral frieze and pansy tiles, and a plain ceiling cornice and rose. The middle room has a painted stone chimneypiece with chamfered jambs and a round-headed cast-iron grate. The back room includes a marble chimneypiece with a corbelled shelf, a cast-iron grate, and tiled reveals, along with a canted bay window that has panelling below a 4-pane sash.
