Description
44 and 46 London Street are terraced shops and flats built in the mid-18th century and extended in the 20th century. The front elevation facing the street features painted Flemish and English-bond brickwork, while the rear is rendered. The roof is covered in plain clay tiles.
These two-storey buildings, each with an attic, have a carriage entrance at street level on 44 London Street that leads westward to Crossland Road. Both buildings have a long, two-storey gabled extension at the rear.
The east-facing façade of 44 and 46 London Street is similar, featuring a ten-pane glazed door, a large glazed shopfront, two casement windows on the first floor, and a gabled four-pane dormer window on the steeply-pitched clay tile gambrel roof. The northernmost ground-floor bay of 44 London Street serves as a carriageway with a timber lintel leading to the rear. There is a door and a window on the north elevation of 44 London Street, both of which are replacements from the 20th or 21st century. Most windows and doors on the east front, except for the dormer of 46 London Street, are also late-20th or 21st century replacements, including the first-floor casement windows, which are all made of uPVC. The roof covering of 44 London Street appears to have been replaced in the 20th century.
