Description
17 and 18 Princess Street are a pair of shops that likely began as a single dwelling. They date from the late 16th century and have undergone some modifications over the years. The buildings are constructed of brick with sections of a timber-framed core and have a plain tiled roof. They rise to three storeys and feature a two-window range, with a gable facing the street that is divided laterally by a party wall. The ground floor has simple inserted shop fronts, while the first floor has 12-pane sash windows and the second floor has 16-pane sash windows, both with flat-arched stuccoed heads. Inside, the internal party wall is timber-framed with large square panels, suggesting that this may have originally been the cross wing of a larger building.
