Description

Nos 17, 18, and 19 Hockley Hill, which includes No 2 Key Hill, is a range of buildings dating from around 1820. Originally three houses, the center was rebuilt in the early 20th century as ironmonger's showrooms, featuring a glazed front divided into three bays on each floor. The two unaltered flanking houses are three storeys tall, constructed of red brick with hipped slate roofs.

The ground floor showcases early to mid-15th century shop fronts, with No 17 featuring a plaster-framed design that includes arcaded lights, fascias, and moulded cornices. Each upper floor has three sash windows, with the glazing bars intact on the first floor. The windows have stucco heads adorned with rosettes and small flanking consoles beneath shallow cornices. The second-floor windows are topped with flat stucco arches that have grooved voussoirs and keystones.

No 17 also has a narrow splayed corner with a pilastered doorway and a keyed archivolt above the fanlight. There is a pilastered shop window on the return, which leads to the entrance of No 2 Key Hill, with glazing bar sashes to the left, featuring grooved stucco flat arches and keystones on both the first and second floors.
