48 AND 50, WEST GATE

48 and 50 West Gate are two houses that have been converted into shops and offices. They were built around 1810, with number 48 being rebuilt in 1990. The buildings are made of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and feature slate roofs, which have single gable and ridge brick stacks. The left side has quoins and an eaves band. The structure is three storeys high and has a three-window range of 16-pane sashes above, with three unequally hung 12-pane sashes above them. All of these windows are from the late 20th century and have projecting stone surrounds. On the ground floor, there is a late 20th-century wooden shop front designed in a late 19th-century style, with a partly blocked entry doorway to the left that has a keystone lintel, and another shop front to the right.
