Gresham Chambers

Gresham Chambers is a terrace of five shops and offices built around 1880 as part of the redevelopment of Lichfield Street. The building is constructed of brick with ashlar and polished granite dressings, and has a tile roof with brick stacks. It is four storeys high and has a seven-window front. The architectural style is a mix of Vernacular Revival and Jacobean elements.

The ground floor has modern shop fronts set between banded granite piers with a cornice above. A drip course runs above most of the second floor. The building is topped with a coped parapet and three gables. There are five two-storey canted oriels on the first and second floors. The first two oriels are joined by a segmental arch, and the central oriel extends upwards as a turret, with a swept copper roof. The windows are double-chamfered-mullioned with transoms; those on the first floor have two transoms, with some double-width lights. The third floor has a six-light mullioned window and six modern casement windows with plain lintels. The brick stacks are banded with diagonal shafts.

The entrance to the upper floors is topped with a Tudor head and a cross-mullioned overlight with cusping.
