Ruskins

Ruskins is a shop that has been converted into a restaurant and offices, dating from around 1800, although it retains some earlier structural elements. The building is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and features a tiled roof with a brick end stack. It has an L-shaped plan and is designed in the Georgian style, standing three storeys tall with a symmetrical three-window arrangement.

The first floor includes a sill band and a cornice at the top. The early 19th-century shop front is notable for its panelled pilaster strips and an entablature above a recessed central entrance, which features a six-fielded-panel door along with return entrances and bowed plate glass windows. The end bow windows also have plate glass. The upper windows have rubbed brick flat arches; the first-floor windows are 24-pane sashes, while the second-floor windows have sills and are 16-pane sashes. A large wrought-iron lamp bracket is also present. At the rear, there is a long gabled wing and a shorter, higher, plastered wing. The interior is noted for having timber-framing.
