Description
This building is a terrace of four shops located at 2, 3, and 22 Lichfield Passage, with the right end being No 4 Wulfruna Street. It dates from the late 18th century and is constructed of brick with stone dressings, featuring a parapeted roof and brick stacks. The terrace is three storeys high and has a four-window range, with a curved bay at the corner of Wulfruna Street.
The top of the building has an entablature and a coped parapet, with brick pilasters positioned between the end and central windows. The ground floor consists of shop fronts with an entablature, small-paned windows, and recessed entrances that include overlights. Notably, the entrance to No 3 has an outer door, while No 2 features a window with roll-moulded glazing bars.
On the first floor, there are architraved windows with cornices, with the central two windows supported by consoles, and all have 12-pane sash windows. The second floor includes windows with 9-pane sashes, and the corner has blind windows along with the entrance to No 4 Wulfruna Street.
The four-window range facing Wulfruna Street also has an entablature. The ground floor continues the shop front of No 4 on the left end, while the rest is plastered with 20th-century openings below a cornice. The first floor features windows with brick flat arches and 12-pane sashes, and the second floor has one blind window with the others having 9-pane sashes. The building has gable-end and cross-axial stacks. This terrace is an interesting example of late 18th-century shops that have survived the redevelopment of the Lichfield Street area in the 1870s.
