1, Drayton Road

This is an early 19th-century house, later adapted for use as shops and residential accommodation. It is constructed of red brick with a plain tile roof. The house is three storeys high and features a dentil brick eaves cornice, parapeted gable ends with moulded stone kneelers and stone copings, a central brick ridge stack, and integral brick end stacks. The windows are glazing bar sashes with stone cills, set within painted gauged-brick heads. A tripartite glazing bar sash window on the ground floor to the right has flanking pilaster strips, a frieze, and a dentil cornice. The door, located in the second bay from the right, is a six-panelled design with beaded flush panels in the lower two sections, panelled reveals, a wreathed radial fanlight, and remnants of a doorcase including moulded architrave, pilaster strips, and a fluted frieze (the triangular pediment was missing during an inspection in April 1986). A mid-to-late 19th-century shop front is located on the left-hand side, featuring large plate-glass windows (which were boarded at the time of survey) flanking a recessed half-glazed door within a pilastered surround with a frieze and moulded cornice. The interior of the building has not been inspected.
