23, Middlegate

No. 23 Middlegate is a former public house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from the early 18th century and was restored in 1989. The building is constructed of brick and features a steeply pitched plain tile roof. Notable architectural details include a plinth, a first-floor band, cogged and dentillated eaves, and coped gables. It has two storeys plus attics and a four-window range of segment-headed glazing bar sashes. Above these, there are two 20th-century gabled dormers with two-light casements. The entrance is an off-centre half-glazed panelled door with an overlight, flanked to the left by two glazing bar sashes, all with segmental heads. To the right, there is a plain carriage opening, and the left gable features a 20th-century three-light shop window.
