Description

Nos. 2-6 Upper Borough Walls are shops with accommodation above, dating from around 1810 and altered in the 1980s. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar, with the roof not visible from the street. It has four storeys and features five windows, all of which are six-over-six sash windows set in plain reveals. The ground floor was altered around 1983, with No. 2 having an archway, No. 3 featuring a double-fronted Victorian shop, and Nos. 4 and 5 also having Victorian shop fronts, all modified around the same time. The building has a cornice with a fluted band, a parapet, and two ashlar stacks with pots. The interior was not inspected but is largely reconstructed behind the facade from the 1980s, with an elevation onto an internal courtyard typical of that period. There is a parish boundary mark on the wall between Nos. 3 and 4. Historically, Nos. 2 and 3 were the Seven Stars Public House until 1983, and the row was reconstructed internally around that time by Alec French and Partners.
