Description
Pandora's is a Grade II listed building located on Guildford High Street, originally constructed in the 15th century. It was formerly two shops but has been combined into one. The building features a timber frame that is clad in colourwashed render, with a wooden ground floor and a renewed plain tiled roof. It stands two storeys high and has two framed bays with a parapet and three Velux roof lights. There is a stack on the right side.
On the first floor, there are two 12-pane glazing-bar sash windows set in architrave surrounds, while the ground floor has a 20th-century wooden glazing-bar shop front. Inside, the roof timbers show signs of having been originally sooted, and the original structure is more intact on the right half. There is a crown-post on the right with a missing centre purlin and the strut connecting the centre crown-post to the purlin is also absent. The crown-post at the left end is missing. Internal evidence indicates that the structure was partly floored and that the two bays were completely separated by a framed wall. The Weald and Downland Museum believes it originally functioned as two individual shop units.
