The Coop Jewellers Premises

The Co-op Jewellers Premises is a co-operative store built in 1885, featuring dressed stone with ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof. It is designed in a free classical style and has three storeys. The building has four bays facing Wellington Street, one corner bay, and seven bays on Market Street. The ground floor is covered with applied materials from the 1970s, but it is reported to be intact behind this façade. The entrance is located in the corner bay, above which is a round oriel window that has a three-light mullioned and transomed window on both the first and second floors. The first-floor window has the words 'ESTABLISHED 1862' in raised letters on its apron. The oriel is topped with a slender conical slated spire featuring an iron crest.

On the Wellington Street elevation, the bays contain windows with two, one, and one lights in raised surrounds, with the multiple-light windows being mullioned and transomed. Above the three-light window at the second-floor level is a double transomed three-light window that extends above the eaves and is topped by a blind pedimented dormer with swept support and ball finials. The frieze between the first and second-floor windows, extending into the corner bay, reads 'BARNSLEY BRITISH CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY LIMITED' in raised letters. The building features a moulded cornice and parapet.

The Market Street elevation mirrors the Wellington Street design, with bays of one, three, twelve, one, three, and one lights. The three-light transomed windows again become double transomed at the second-floor level, also surmounted by blind pedimented dormers. To the far right, there is a contemporary wrought-iron gate leading to a cart entry. Originally, the building served as offices, a hall, a reading room, and a central butchering department. It is included for its group value.
