Description

Nos 264 and 265 Broad Street, along with No 2 Gas Street, were built around 1875 by Martin Chamberlain. The building is constructed of red brick with some stone and features a tiled roof adorned with decorative ridge tiles. It is two to three storeys high and has three bays; the left bay is broad and gabled, while the two right bays are narrow and gabled, all designed in a Gothic style. The ground floor has modern shop fronts. The left bay contains four first floor sash windows with glazing bars only in the upper sashes, and two almost square sash windows on the second floor, with diagonally set bricks between vertical lesenes on either side and above. The two right bays are identical, featuring a pair of pointed arched windows with octofoil designs set in stone, along with a small cut brick detail in the gable above. The right-hand return includes the entrance to No 2 Gas Street, with a large gable on the left displaying fine cut brick foliage at the apex, and a smaller gable on the right similar to those on the Broad Street elevation. The building is positioned astride the Canal.
