Description
Number 33, which includes the premises occupied by Printex Lithographic Printers, is a former inn known as The Sun Inn. It dates from the 18th century and features a combination of stucco on the ground floor and roughcast above, with a Welsh slate roof and composite tiles at the rear. The building has three storeys and a cellar, with a two-window range. The windows include 20th-century three-light casements and 18th-century two-light casements set in moulded cases. The central entrance has a part-glazed six-panel door beneath a moulded wood flat hood supported by brackets. This entrance is flanked by late 19th-century canted bays with plain sash windows. To the right is an outbuilding, now used as a printing shop, which has a blocked loft opening above a 19th-century shopfront featuring a 20th-century door and a window with glazing bars to the left, as well as a 19th-century stable door. The left side of the building is roughcast and rubble, with a rubble lean-to at the rear.
