120 High Street

Terraced building with ground-floor shop; the frontage is C18 or early C19 though the building may have earlier origins.

MATERIALS: the principal, south-facing front elevation is purple-grey brick laid in header bond with red-brick and stucco dressings. There is a stucco plat band between the first and second floor and a stucco cornice. The front section of the building has a pitched slate-covered roof, hipped at its eastern end. The window openings contain timber sash frames.

PLAN: the main part of the building is roughly square on plan, with a number of later additions extending to the north.

EXTERIOR: the principal elevation is of three storeys and three bays wide. To the east is an entrance with a recessed six-panelled door beneath a rectangular overlight, preceded by a stone step. The ground floor is otherwise occupied by the early-C21 shopfront. Above, the windows are framed in red brick with flat arches; the openings contain six-over-six sash frames. There are red-brick quoins, a stucco plat band separates the first and second storeys and there is a painted moulded eaves cornice with a plain frieze and parapet. Three forked metal straps clasp the western corner of the building.
