103 London Street

House with shopfront, constructed in the early C19. Later C20 rear extensions.

MATERIALS: built of silver-grey brick headers with red-brick dressings. Slate roof covering.

PLAN: the building comprises a three storey plus basement, rectangular range fronting London Street to the west with C20 single-storey extensions to the rear.

EXTERIOR: the ground floor has an early-C19 (possibly original) shopfront with two bows flanking a central, half-glazed and panelled doorway. The bows each contain a twelve-pane window with glazing bars, topped by a frieze and moulded cornice which extends above the door with narrow pilaster strips. The bows are supported on narrow iron brackets, below which are metal grilles to the basement.

The first and second floors are composed of grey header-bond brickwork with redbrick quoins and window dressings. There are two bays of timber sash windows at first- and second-floor levels; the first-floor windows have six-over-six glazing, while the second floor contains three-over-six glazing. Over each window is a gauged red brick lintel.

The building has a pitched roof with east-west orientated slopes. The rear of the building is concealed by C20 single-storey extensions.

INTERIOR: it is understood that there is a staircase with cast-iron baluster standards.
