320 High Street

A small commercial building thought to date from the late C18.

MATERIALS: the building’s principal, western frontage is rendered to the first floor under a slate roof covering, and contains a timber shopfront on the ground floor, with a lead roof covering. The rear range is of red brick with a plain tiled roof.

PLAN: the building stands on the east side of High Street, facing west.

EXTERIOR: the building is of two storeys across two bays, the southern bay being wider than the northern. The northern bay of the ground floor contains a passage giving access to the rear ranges of the building and the adjacent property at 319 High Street.

On the first floor, the southern bay contains a tripartite sash window, while the northern bay contains a two-pane sash. A wide plat band runs across the elevation intersecting with the window heads, above which is a rendered parapet with lead coping. The parapet conceals the lower part of the pitched roof, which slopes towards the High Street and contains two dormers, both of which contain metal grilles.

A long, rear range extends eastward from the principal range fronting the High Street. It is of two storeys in red brick with a pitched, plain-tiled roof.
