Description

43 High Street is a 1824 building originally constructed as a law office. It features an important red brick front with stone bands and a plinth. There is no frieze, but it has a stone-coped parapet with a shaped center. The bases of three pedestals remain on the parapet, although whatever they supported is now missing. The building has a slate roof and stands three storeys tall with three windows. The ground floor is arcaded, with windows set in arcades featuring flat red brick gauged arches. The building is advanced below the shaped center of the parapet, and the center windows are specially treated. The top floor includes a stone-framed round lunette with tracery, while the first-floor window has a round traceried head, impost bands, and a panel of stone balusters above. The windows are sashes with glazing bars, and there is a recessed center door with a fanlight.
