16 and 18 London Street

A mid-C19 house and shop.

MATERIALS: The building is constructed of red brick laid in Flemish bond and the roof is covered in pantiles.

EXTERIOR: The principal elevation faces east on to London Street. It is three bays wide and two storeys high. The pitched roof is covered in pantiles. There is a shallow dentil cornice.

At ground floor level there are entrances to the left and right: that on the left has a six-panelled door and a covered over-light, between two pilasters; on the right is a passageway entrance beneath a flat brick arch. Between these two doorways is a shop front with a slightly projecting cornice.

At first-floor level, the left-hand bay is flush with the adjoining building at number 20 and continues its brickwork. A break in the building line occurs at the junction of the central bay, which projects forward slightly. The central bay has a canted oriel window comprising one-over-one and two-over-two horned sashes. The outer bays have six-over-six unhorned sash windows with concealed boxes.

The earlier List entries reported that there were no features of special interest internally, and no further inspection of the interior has taken place as part of the 2024 process of amendment.
