Barclays Bank Kingswood Chemists

Barclays Bank and Kingswood Chemists is a house that has been divided into two properties and converted for commercial use. It dates back to the 16th century, with alterations made in the early 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame that is closely studded, with red brick infill, some pebbledash render, and areas of red brick refacing. No. 8 has been rebuilt in early 19th century red brick, with flared headers in some sections. The roofs are covered with clay tiles, and the structure is arranged in an H-plan over two storeys, with a left-hand cross-wing that has two storeys and attics.

No. 6 has a main block that includes a carriage entrance on the left side, which has a flat timber head, carved spandrels, and plank gates. Above this entrance, there are fishscale tiles. To the right, the ground floor features a 20th-century shop front styled to resemble the early 19th century, while the first floor has a gabled oriel window supported by cut brackets, complete with mullions and leaded lights, and fishscale tiles on the gable. The cross-wing has exposed timbering and leaded mullion and transom windows, including a five-light window on the ground floor and a four-light window on the first floor.

In 1919, the building underwent reworking, during which the original ground floor studwork in the cross-wing was removed and new studwork was installed to align with the central block, creating a pedestrian passageway across the ground floor of the cross-wing. The cross-wing features a rebuilt red brick chimney stack with moulded linked octagonal stacks, while the main block has a red brick double ridge stack.

No. 8 has a 20th-century shop front that occupies the entire ground floor. The first floor and attic feature 20th-century windows with rebuilt flat heads. The gambrel roof has brick eaves mouldings at the gable and a brick dentil eaves cornice on the side elevations, along with a variety of chimney stacks.
