1, SHREWSBURY STREET (See details for further address information)

This building, known as No. 1 on Shrewsbury Street, is a house dating from the early 17th century with later additions and alterations. It features a timber frame with painted brick infill, which has been rebuilt and rendered at the ground floor, and is topped with slate roofs. The structure has a three-bay lobby-entry plan, including a central two-storey porch and a short range to the rear on the left, forming an L-shape. To the right, there is a 19th-century painted brick addition.

The house stands two storeys high with an attic. The framing of the main range's first floor, which was likely originally jettied, includes two rectangular panels at the front and V-struts from the collars to the left gable end and porch. The ground floor is underbuilt in brick and rendered. The rear range, which is painted to imitate timber framing on the Church Street side, has square and rectangular panels at the back and V-struts from the collar.

The building features a symmetrical arrangement of windows with a 1:1:1 pattern. There is a three-light late 19th-century casement window to the left, and 20th-century casements in the porch and to the right. The ground floor includes a 20th-century shop front to the left and a late 19th-century casement window to the right of the porch. A brick projection in front of the 19th-century addition to the right has a late 19th-century shop front. The porch contains a four-panel door, with the top panels now glazed, and a plain pilastered 19th-century doorcase with a bracketed hood and another four-panel door (also with glazed top panels) to the left gable end.

Prominent features include a central red brick ridge stack and an integral end stack to the rear range. The interior could not be inspected during the resurvey in February 1986, but it is likely to hold historical interest.
