15, New Street

No. 15 New Street is a house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from around 1700, with later additions and alterations, including a shop front from the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of reddish brick in Flemish bond, featuring flat arches made of red gauged brick, along with ashlar sills, keystones, a cornice, and copings. The roof is covered with cement tiles, and the shop front is made of timber.

The structure has three storeys and three first-floor windows. The first floor has six-over-six flush sash windows, while the second floor has two-over-two flush sash windows. All windows have sills, flat arches, and central keystones, with the first-floor windows also featuring cornices. The building is topped with a frieze and an ovolo-moulded cornice, and there is a renewed low coped parapet.

The shop front includes end pilasters with unknotted panels, and to the right of the left entrance, there is a four-panel door with an overlight. The shop front also features four-pane windows on the aprons, an off-centre right entrance with glazed double doors and an overlight, and a continuous frieze and cornice with end brackets.

The interior has not been inspected. Historically, New Street was known as Glover Street until at least 1523. During the 16th and 17th centuries, it was a street lined with dwelling-houses that had workshops behind them.
