5 and 7, Bridge Street

5 and 7 Bridge Street are houses that have been converted into shops and dwellings. The front dates from the mid-18th century but has an earlier core. The building is made of painted brick and has a Welsh slate roof, with a brick axial chimney on a rendered base at the rear. It stands three storeys tall and features a two-window range, with a central blind opening and 8/8 sash windows under segmental arches that have stucco keyblocks on the first and second floors. The ground floor has 20th-century shop fronts with glazing bars and glazed and panelled doors, flanking a six-fielded-panel door, topped with a moulded fascia-board and hood. The left side of the building is slate-hung. The rear includes leaded lights. There is a 19th-century gable wing made of brick with a Welsh slate roof, and another wing that is brick with weatherboarding and a roughcast gable, featuring 20th-century metal casements and leaded lights, along with 19th-century lights above a six-panel door with a barred overlight on the south front. Inside, the central passage to the rear has chamfered ceiling beams and some exposed timber-framing with brick infill.
