Description

No. 55 Britton Street is a terraced house with a shop, built around 1825. It features multicoloured brick set in Flemish bond, with some rebuilding in yellow brick on the second floor, and a roof made of Welsh slate. The building has four storeys and a two-window range.

The ground floor includes a round-arched entrance to St John's Path on the left, and the rest of the front is dominated by a well-preserved early 19th-century wooden shop front. This shop front has engaged Roman Doric columns that support an entablature with a fascia, end scrolls, and a cornice. There is a central entrance with a decoratively glazed overlight, and small-paned shop windows with curved corners.

On the first floor, the windows are flat-arched with gauged brick heads and are recessed in round-arched panels that also have gauged brick heads, linked by stone springing bands. The upper windows are flat-arched with 6/6 sashes of original design. The building has a parapet, two dormers in the mansard roof, and a stack on the party wall.
