Description
101 and 103 Westgate, along with Flat 5 at the rear of 97 Westgate, is a pair of shops with living space above, dating from the early to mid-18th century and featuring later alterations.
The buildings are constructed from variably coloured handmade brick, primarily laid in English garden wall bond, with stone sills and a replacement Welsh slate roof. The layout consists of two ground-floor shops on either side of an open passageway that leads to the rear yard, with domestic accommodation situated above. The property at number 103 has a truncated rear wing.
The front elevation facing Westgate has four bays and two storeys, with shopfronts on either side of a round-arched pedestrian passageway that provides access to Schofield's Yard at the back; this passage is located beneath the first-floor window of number 101. The shopfronts are styled in a late Victorian or Edwardian manner, featuring relatively simple replaced joinery, and the shop doors are six-panelled. The first-floor windows have stone sills and replaced sash windows, with the two windows at number 101 positioned beneath segmental arches made of brick headers, while those at number 103 have flat lintels. The front of number 103 is slightly set back, and it has a brick modillion cornice along the eaves to align with the roofline of number 101.
At the rear, there is one bay of a gabled, rearward projecting range behind number 103 Westgate, which is two storeys tall but lower than the main building. A large square brick chimney stack rises from the rear roof slope of number 103, just above its ridgeline.
