Description

28 and 30 Railway Street are houses that now feature a large shop on the ground floor of No. 30. They date from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. The buildings are timber-framed, with a stuccoed front and a pebbledashed rear, and there is a brown brick lean-to extension behind No. 28. The right-hand wall, made of brown brick, and the parapet are remnants of properties that were demolished in the 1960s. The roofs are covered with old tiles.

The exterior is two storeys high with attics. The first floor has four flush-set 12-pane sash windows, each with architrave surrounds. On the ground floor, there is a carriageway on the left, a large 20th-century shopfront with plate glass windows in the centre, and a single flush-set 12-pane sash window on the right, accompanied by a panelled door beneath a weatherboard hood supported by cut console brackets. The rear features a flush-set 12-pane sash window above the carriageway, along with scattered fenestration that has been largely renewed.

The roofs include four box dormers, three with casement windows and one with a 20th-century pivot window. There is a projecting gable over the main rear outshoot, a Welsh slated roof on the lean-to behind No. 28, and a yellow brick chimneystack positioned forward of the ridge on the left. Additionally, there is a tall red-brown brick chimneystack with a band and four tall orange clay pots that rises from the rear slope of No. 28, along with a tall brown brick stack located further back. The ground floors have been opened out, but the interiors of the upper floors have not been inspected.
