Description
No. 9 East Street is a house that later became a public house and is now a shop with storage above. It dates from the early 16th century and has been altered in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The building is timber-framed and was refronted with brick in the 18th century; it is currently whitewashed and has an underbuilt jetty. The roof is steeply pitched and covered with old tiles, which replaced 19th-century Welsh slates in the 1970s when two casement box dormers were removed.
On the first floor, there are two nearly flush set windows with glazing bars and moulded architraves. The ground floor features an elaborate early 20th-century shopfront beneath the former jetty, with twin curved bays flanking a central entrance. There is a stucco stallriser, and the timber-framed windows have moulded glazing bars, transoms, and moulded curved tracery. The corners have curved plate glass windows. Above the transom level, there is a leaded light upper panel with obscured glass and colored motifs. The entrance door is glazed with glazing bars, and there is a 20th-century fascia.
Internally, the building has a three-bay structure with a crown post roof and was originally gabled on the street frontage. In the 19th century, it was known as The Crown and Anchor Public House.
