46, Foregate Street and 16, Farrier Street

46 Foregate Street and 16 Farrier Street is a house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from the early to mid-18th century and has undergone various additions and alterations, including ground-floor shop fronts from the 1920s and 1970s, as well as attic dormers. The building is constructed of brownish-red brick in Flemish bond, featuring dark red gauged brick flat arches, ashlar sills, and keystones. The ground floor has a timber cornice and a plain tile roof, with a brick stack at the right end that has been partly rebuilt and includes an oversailing course and pots.

The structure has three storeys and an attic, with two windows on the first floor. The first and second floors are fitted with 6/6 horned flush sash windows, which have renewed sills on the first floor and roll-moulded sills on the second floor. All windows have flat arches and keystones with an incised motif, while the second-floor keystones are adorned with cornices. The building is topped with a modillion cornice. On the ground floor, there is an entrance to the left featuring a part-glazed door set in panelled reveals, along with a shop window that has been updated with new glazing. The attic features 20th-century flat-roofed dormers with casement windows.

The interior of the building has not been inspected. Historically, during the 18th century, Foregate Street was referred to as 'the mall.' Tymbs' Worcester Guide from 1802 describes Foregate Street as well-paved and broad enough to allow for a full circulation of air, making it a popular promenade. The building is part of a significant group that includes the Shire Hall, the Statue of Queen Victoria, the City Museum and Library, and several other consecutive properties on Foregate Street.
