13-17, BROOK STREET

Nos 13 to 17 on Brook Street are mid-19th century buildings constructed from hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings. They stand three storeys tall and feature a double chamfered eaves cornice and a continuous sill on the first floor. The façade includes six ranges of sash windows, each with blind pointed ashlar fanlights decorated with quatrefoils on the first floor. There are two modern shop windows and two doors, each with eight sunk panels and pointed fanlights, set within an elaborate portal. This portal is adorned with a bracketed and moulded cornice topped with ornamental cast iron cresting, pointed arches with deeply moulded voussoirs, and foliate roundels in the spandrels. The imposts display foliage of Romanesque character, and the chamfered pilasters are inset with coloured glazed tiles, complemented by one ringed pink granite column.
