6 AND 8, BIRD STREET (See details for further address information)

Two shops, built in the middle of the 18th century and around 1800. The buildings are constructed of brick with stucco dressings, and have tile roofs. They are in a Georgian style, over three storeys, originally with a four-window front, with a later three-storey, single-window range added to the left. The front of both ranges is stuccoed at ground level. A top platt band and parapet run along the top of the building. The ground floor on the right-hand side has a round-headed entrance with a blind fanlight featuring thick glazing bars above a six-fielded panel door. To the left is a late 20th-century shop front with three windows beneath a cornice with an open pediment, extending over the later range. First and second floor windows have sills and rusticated wedge lintels with keys. The first floor windows are 12-pane sashes, while the second floor windows are 6-pane sashes. End stacks are present. The later range has a brick modillioned cornice and a hipped roof. Windows in this range have sills and rusticated wedge lintels; the first-floor window is a plate glass horned sash, and the second floor window is 4/8-pane. The return frontage is similar, with a three-window range; a central entrance serves the shop front, the first-floor windows have 16-pane sashes, and the second-floor windows include two 4/8-pane sashes and one 9-pane sash.
