Description

No. 7 Beast Fair is a house that has been partly converted into a shop. It dates from the late 18th century, with some alterations made in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of painted brick with stone dressings and has a Welsh slate roof. It stands three storeys high and features three bays.

The ground floor has a 20th-century shop front on the left and a passageway leading through the building to Star Yard on the right. There are flush stone quoins above the ground floor on the left side. The first floor has three tall sash windows with glazing bars, likely from the 20th century, set below flat stone arches that have fluted keystones. The sash window on the right is in a considerably reduced opening. Above this, there are three similar windows, but their arches are truncated. To the far left, there is a fluted 18th-century hopper head attached to a bracketed downpipe. The building retains its original moulded stone cornice, although there is later brickwork above it, along with a 19th-century bracketed cornice and a moulded gutter. There are no chimney stacks present.
