Description
95 High Street is a house that is part of a terrace and is now used as a shop. The front dates from around 1870 but is built onto an earlier property. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and a shopfront, topped with a slate roof that features a parapet. There is a stack at the left end of the ridge with an oversailing detail. The shopfront boasts polished marble columns and cast-iron railings. The building has three storeys with an attic and cellar, and there are four first-floor windows.
The stone detailing includes parapet coping, a moulded eaves cornice with bracketed ends, a sill band on corbel brackets for the second-floor windows, and stilted segmental arch moulded window heads on corbel brackets. The brick detailing features scrolled arrisses on the window reveals, and all windows are 1/1 sashes. The ground floor is arcaded with five stilted segmental arches supported by detached colonnettes that have Corinthian capitals and high engaged pedestals. The entablature has egg-and-dart moulding along the lower edge of the cornice and fascia, along with carved console brackets. There are six-panel raised and fielded doors at the centre and right, while other openings have full-height glazing protected at low-level by ornate railings that link the pedestals.
Inside, there is late 19th-century plasterwork on the ground-floor front. A paved passage on the right leads to an early 19th-century pair of panelled and semi-circular arched doors. No other features are visible, but the boxing around the beams and ceiling heights suggests the possibility of a timber frame. Historically, these premises served as the wine cellars for Siah Stallard and Sons, which were established here in 1808. The shop front is noted as a particularly fine example of its period.
