88 High Street

88 High Street is a terraced shop built around the 18th century. It was altered in the late 20th century when the ground floor shopfront was replaced.

The building is constructed of red brick laid in Flemish bond, featuring a timber first-floor oriel window and slate-covered roofs. It has a narrow street frontage and a long rectangular plan, typical of its historic burgage plot form.

The shop is three storeys high and consists of a single bay. The front elevation facing the high street is made of red brick. The ground floor has a late 20th-century shopfront with a large plate glass window and a glazed doorway with a transom light beneath a fascia sign. On the first floor, there is an original timber bowed oriel window, which includes a central curved six-over-six sash flanked by fielded pilasters and two curved six-over-six sashes. Beneath the sashes is a panelled apron, and above them, there is a plain frieze and a dentil cornice. The second floor features a large segmental-headed tripartite sash window with a central eight-over-eight sash and two-over-two side sashes. Above this window is a brick dentil cornice and a brick parapet with an additional dentil cornice.

The rear elevation has late 20th-century single-storey flat-roofed brick extensions on the ground floor, a flush doorway, and two small windows on the first floor, along with a two-over-two square-headed sash window on the second floor. The building has a double-pile hipped roof covered with red tiles.

Inside, the ground floor has a modern shop interior, while the upper floors are used for office and storage space. The first floor features an original 18th-century decorative plaster ceiling with an Adam-style floral and acanthus leaf ceiling rose, Vitruvian scroll and leaf borders, and a moulded cornice. There is also a moulded dado rail and skirting.
