Nos. 14-18 (Consec) Hat And Feather Public House (No.14)

This is a late 19th-century terrace of buildings, incorporating a public house at number 14, the Hat and Feather. The terrace is constructed of limestone ashlar and has a double-pitched roof, obscured by the building, with moulded stacks to the party walls and the left side. The buildings are four storeys high, including an attic.

The terrace features returned coped parapets and decorative cornices at the attic and second floor levels. The upper-floor plate glass windows have raised lintels and sills, and are framed by eared moulded architraves with block plinths. The first-floor windows are further embellished with pulvinated friezes and cornices. Pilasters articulate the facades, with projecting consoles at the second and ground floor cornice levels. The second-floor pilasters have swan neck pediments and circular friezes, supported by fluted corbels, while those at the ground floor, flanking the shop fronts, are similar with segment arched pediments and Tuscan pilasters.

The Hat and Feather public house, at number 14, is canted at the corner and has a six-window range, with three windows facing the front, one at the angle, and two on the right return. Double, half-glazed doors are positioned on either side of the corner, featuring banded rustication to the pilasters with fluted tops, recessed circles to the friezes, and ball finials. The paired flanking doors at the corner are similarly decorated. The Hat and Feather was already operating under that name by 1906.

Numbers 15 to 18 are now a single shop with decorative details above the plate glass shop windows. Number 15 has a two-window range with six/six-pane sash windows to the upper floors, and two panes with a door to the right of the shop front. Number 16 has a three-window range with three panes to the shop front. Numbers 17 and 18 are at the same level. Number 18, the left terminal, has pilasters with foliate capitals to the imposts of a semicircular arch over the central door and semi-elliptical arches over the flanking windows, including foliate spandrels and leaded overlights. The left return has two panes to the shop window and two windows in plain openings to the centres of the upper floors. The interior has not been inspected.
