Description

11-16 Tenby Street North is a two-storey and basement building constructed of red brick with blue brick detailing and painted stone dressings, topped with a 20th-century pantile roof. The structure forms an L-shaped complex, featuring a long street frontage that extends east to west, with one gable end chimney stack on the east side and three truncated ridge stacks. At the rear, there is a gabled off-centre storeyed wing, which is a remnant of a larger former section, with evidence of this extension visible on the east elevation of the rear range that extends behind No. 16.

The street-facing range consists of twelve bays, with pedestrian doorways located in bays two, eight, and twelve. There is a wide vehicle entrance in bay three and a goods entrance in bay eleven. The window openings feature drop-arched heads with moulded and rebated surrounds, and 20th-century window frames set on deeply-chamfered painted cills. Above the windows, hood moulds with foliated stops are present. The building has a moulded brick plat band and a decorative eaves cornice. The wide arched goods entrance in bay two has spur stones, and to the left is a doorway with an arch-headed fanlight. The main entrance in bay eight has double three-panel doors within a moulded reveal and a hexafoil fanlight. Bay eleven features a wide goods entrance with a 20th-century roller shutter.

The rear elevation includes a gabled two and a half storeyed wing with multi-pane cast iron window frames. The range extends behind No. 16, terminating with an eight bay range that has an axial stack and multi-pane cast iron window frames. There is also evidence on the east elevation of this range of additional buildings in the rear yard that have since been demolished.

Inside, No. 16 is believed to retain some original drop stamps.
