Description
No. 8 Bridge Street is a house that has been converted into a shop with accommodation above, dating from around 1774. It is built from limestone ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof. The building is three storeys high, with an attic and cellar, and is three windows wide. It shares a similar design with Nos. 2-7 Bridge Street and was originally paired with No. 9. The ground floor has an early 20th-century shopfront with plate glass windows and a deep fascia. The first-floor windows are adorned with cornices and architraves, while the second-floor windows have architraves; all are late 19th-century plain plate glass sashes. The building is topped with a cornice and parapet, and has a mansard roof with a paired flat-topped dormer featuring two-over-two sashes, although the stack has been removed. The interior has not been inspected. Historically, Bridge Street was developed after the Council approved the construction of Pulteney Bridge in 1769. This house is depicted in Thomas Malton's drawing "View of Pulteney Bridge from Spring Gardens," created in 1788. A tea warehouse began operating in this building in 1794.
