Description
No. 2, now known as Superdrug, is a house that has been converted into a shop, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of painted brick and features a slate roof with brick end stacks. The building stands three storeys high and has a four-window range. The shop front was added in the 20th century. On the first floor, there are four tall sash windows, each with keystoned voussoirs and three-pane glazing bars. The second floor also has four similar windows. A moulded wooden eaves cornice runs along the top of the building. The interior was remodelled in the 20th century.
