7 and 9, Holywell Hill

This is a very old building, likely dating back to the 16th century, that was divided into two separate properties and subsequently refronted at different times. Number 7 has an early 18th-century facade of two storeys and two windows. It is constructed of red and blue brick with red brick detailing. A parapet sits above a steeply pitched, hipped, tiled roof. A modern shop occupies the ground floor. The first-floor windows are sash windows with glazing bars, set within gauged brick arches – the arch on the left is segmental, while the one on the right is flat with a cut, curved pattern. The window frames are near-flush and moulded. Number 9 has a later 19th-century facade made of puce brick with red brick detailing. It is two stories high with three windows. The sash windows, which have been altered, are set within gauged, segmental brick arches. A modern shop is on the ground floor, and there are two gabled extensions at the rear. Numbers 1 to 25 (odd numbers) form a group.
