Description
Nos. 1 and 3 Cross Street, which also includes No. 2 Market Row, is a house and shops built in the early 19th century with an addition and shop insertion around 1900. The building is made of gault brick and stucco, topped with a slate roof, and has a rectangular plan with three storeys.
The front elevation faces Market Row and is stuccoed, featuring a string course between the upper floors. It has three bays with a central early 19th-century doorway that has a cornice hood and plain jambs, along with an overlight above a 20th-century fully glazed door. The shop frontage includes a 19th-century cornice, while the rest is from the 20th century, with a canted round corner at the street. To the east, there is a 20th-century single light casement window. The first floor has sash windows with moulded architraves and glazing bars, arranged as 4x4 panes, with the central window being blind. The second floor features a 4x3 paned sash window. The deep eaves of the roof, which have wooden soffit boards, include a red brick stack at the eastern end.
The rear elevation, facing Hill Street, has three bays with a quadrant corner at the western end. There is a vertical break in the wall where two eastern bays were added around 1900 in what was previously a yard. On the ground floor, there is an early 20th-century integrated doorway and shop window with fluted pilasters and a fascia board. The doorway has an overlight and a door with four panels, the upper two of which are glazed with leaded stained glass. The fixed window has plain glass, while the western bay is rendered and features an upper string with a plain sheet glass shop window. The second floor has two 3x3 paned sash windows, one of which is blocked. The first floor has similar windows, but the middle one now has plain sashes.
The western elevation, facing Cross Street, has four bays with a quadrant corner at the southern end. The ground floor features an early 20th-century shop with a recessed doorway. The first floor has sash windows with glazing bars, arranged as 3x4 panes, although one at the northern end is blocked. The second floor has similar windows but with 3x3 panes. The interior is plain.
