Description
33 and 35 Friar Street are two shops located in Worcester, dating from around 1820 to 1850 for the right part and from 1880 to 1890 for the left part, with later additions and alterations, including a ground-floor facade on the right from the 1960s. The building is three storeys high with seven first-floor windows and additional ranges at the rear. It is constructed of pinkish-red brick in Flemish bond, featuring hanging slates on the stair turret at the rear and slate roofs. There are tall brick stacks on both sides and a lead rainwater head.
The windows on the first and second floors have 6/6 sashes set in plain reveals, with brick sills and flat arches made of gauged brick. The ground floor has a continuous shop front in the centre and left, supported by six pilaster strips with corbels, a plinth, and fielded panels below the windows. There is a continuous frieze and cornice. On the left side, there are double doors with fielded panels and pierced upper panels, along with three plate-glass windows. An off-centre right entrance features a 4-panel door with an overlight, while the right part has a plank door with an open overlight. The recessed shop front includes a plate glass window and a glazed door. The rear retains various sash windows, including 6/6, 8/8, and 3/6 styles, along with a fall pipe and rainwater head at the front on the right.
Inside, the right part features an open newel staircase with rod-on-vase balusters and turned newel posts, as well as a service staircase from the ground to the first floor with stick balusters. The interior has shaped architraves and sills, several 19th-century marble fireplaces and grates on the first and second floors, and 4-panel doors.
Historically, the right part was formerly known as the Globe Inn, while the left part housed Joselands, wine and spirit merchants, around 1884.
