8 Stodman Street

Dwelling constructed during the late C18, later converted to shop use at ground floor during the C20.

MATERIALS: constructed of brick in Flemish bond. The ground-floor shopfront is timber with C20 plate glass and glazed door. The roof has clay pantiles .

PLAN: the building is square on plan and has three storeys with a shop unit at ground floor level. A single-extension sits to the rear, beyond which remains a large courtyard.

EXTERIOR: the ground floor is occupied with a timber-surround shopfront which extends as far as the original brick arch leading to a side passageway, now painted. The shopfront has a mid-C20 glazed door and overlight to right and a single pane window to the left. A cast-iron plate sits above the segmental arch of the side passage inscribed 'HARSTON'S YARD'. There are two windows on both floors, with three-over-six sashes on the first floor and three-over-three sashes on the second floor. All windows sit beneath rendered, cut-brick lintels. An additional band of bricks runs beneath the second floor. The red brick is exposed and arranged in a Flemish bond. Dog tooth brick eaves sit beneath a steeply pitched roof with clay pantiles with no surviving chimney stacks.
