Description
43-47 and 51 Castlegate consists of four houses that have been converted into three shops and a flat. The building dates from around 1800 and has undergone alterations in the late 19th century as well as in the mid and late 20th century. It is constructed of brick, with No. 51 being colourwashed and featuring a rendered gable. The roofs are made of pantiles and slate.
The structure has an incomplete plinth, bands at the first and second floors, dentillated eaves, a single coped gable, and two ridge stacks. It stands three storeys high with attics and has an eight-window range featuring segment-headed glazing bar sashes, with four blanks. The sixth and seventh windows from the left are canted wooden oriels, dating from the late 20th and late 19th centuries. Above these, there are eight smaller segment-headed windows, including three sashes, two 20th-century casements, and three blanks. Higher up, there are two raking dormers with three-light and single-light Yorkshire sashes, along with a 20th-century box dormer to the right.
At the ground level, there is a central round-headed entry. To the left, there are two late 19th-century wooden shopfronts that have been combined into one shop, featuring a panelled stallboard and an overall cornice. This shopfront includes two four-light windows, each flanked by a recessed glazed door, with the right door converted into a showcase, and both doors having round-headed scrapers. To the right, there is another late 19th-century wooden shopfront with a cornice and painted sign, altered in the mid-20th century, which includes a recessed glazed door and a single-pane window. Further to the right, there is a late 19th-century single-pane window, altered in the late 20th century, flanked by a segment-headed glazed door.
