Description
Happys is a shop that was formerly a forge, dating from the early 19th century. It is a small, single-storey building constructed with a timber frame and weatherboarding, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building features a gabled roof with moulded bargeboards and has a large red brick chimney stack that projects from the rear. On the left side, there is a half-glazed door beneath a gabled tiled hood supported by brackets. To the left of this, there is a boarded door in a lean-to, along with a 20th-century bowed oriel window facing the roadside. This building is included for its group value.
