Description

No. 14, Parliament Square is an early 19th-century printing works, subsequently converted to offices. The building is constructed of stucco over brickwork, with a Welsh slate roof hidden behind a parapet. It displays a neo-classical design.

The exterior comprises three storeys, with a plat band marking the first floor. The central bay is emphasised with four Tuscan pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice, topped with a blocking course. The windows are wooden sash windows with glazing bars, set within tall 12-pane frames on the first floor and six-pane frames on the second. The ground floor is treated as a basement podium, with three segmentally headed windows in the centre, and a recessed entrance to the right.

The interior was extensively altered in the 1970s and has not been inspected.

The site has a historical significance, previously occupied by Briant's Bell Foundry, established around 1780, within earlier buildings. Simson (later Simson Shand) printing works was established on the site around 1830 and rebuilt within the frontage block.
