Description
Nos. 24-30 Bradford Street, including 17 Newport Street and Nos. 1 and 1a Caldmore Road, is a row of shops and offices built in the 1830s by John Eglington on land acquired in 1832. The building is made of stuccoed brick and features a symmetrical design with prominent center and end blocks. It stands three stories tall, topped with a cornice and blocking course.
The end blocks each consist of three bays, separated by Doric pilasters on the ground floor and Corinthian pilasters on the upper floors. The ground floor showcases channelled rustication, with windows that have segmental heads. The first-floor windows are framed with architraves and are all sashed with glazing bars. The left-hand block, No 17 Newport Street, has three bays facing Newport Street, while the right-hand block has a blind bay on the first and second floors. The middle bay of this block features an Ionic doorcase.
The right-hand block, No 1 Caldmore Road, has had its middle ground floor window replaced by a doorway and has one bay facing Caldmore Road. The middle block, No 27 Bradford Street, also has three bays, channelled rustication, and Doric pilasters on the ground floor, with paired pilaster strips above. The windows here are sashed with glazing bars, and the porch is supported by paired columns, which now have plain blocks as capitals.
To the left and right of the middle block are three-bay links to the end blocks, all of which have 20th-century shop fronts on the ground floor. The first floor retains sashed windows with glazing bars, except for No 29, while on the second floor, only No 26 retains its sash windows. Notably, Jerome K Jerome was born at No 1 Caldmore Road in 1859.
