2 AND 3, THE SQUARE (See details for further address information)

Nos. 2 and 3 The Square is a row of eight shops built around 1900 by Leonard Stokes in a free neo-Georgian style. The building features grey brick with red dressings, two large tile-hung gables, and a hipped tile roof to the southwest. It is designed in an L-plan, with two storeys and an attic, deep eaves, and four stacks.

The south side has one dormer with a glazing bar sash and another to the west. There are four dormers on the northwest side with two-light casements, and a prominent gabled semi-dormer between the first and second dormers from the north, which has a semi-circular window.

On the west front, there is a large projecting gable off-centre to the right, with a first-floor jettied section supported by brackets. This side includes two paired attic glazing bar sashes, a first-floor canted bay with glazing bar sashes, and two set-back flanking glazing bar sashes beneath a pulvinated frieze. The ground floor features three central windows separated by Tuscan pilasters, two set-back four-panelled doors to the left, and a five-panelled door set back to the right with an oval fanlight. To the right, there is a first-floor glazing bar sash and two glazing bar sashes on the corner, along with five first-floor four-light casements to the left. The ground floor has a plate glass shop window to the right and an angled half-glazed door in the right-hand corner.

The south front mirrors the large projecting gable seen on the west front but has three ground floor windows to the right, separated by pilasters, and two two-panelled doors to the left with a rectangular overlight. There are also two first-floor glazing bar sashes on the corner to the left, accompanied by a pulvinated frieze, and a ground floor plate glass window to the left.
