76, 78 and 80, Park Street

Nos. 76, 78, and 80 Park Street is a terrace of three houses that have been converted into shops. The buildings date back to 1762 and were completed around 1800, designed by Thomas Paty. They are constructed from limestone ashlar and brick, featuring party wall stacks and a pantile mansard roof, showcasing a mid-Georgian style. The terrace has a double-depth plan and consists of three storeys plus an attic, with a three-window range for each house. The shop fronts are from the 20th century, with pilasters leading to a cornice and parapet, and a sill band on No. 76. The windows are plate-glass sashes, and there are paired dormers. The right-hand return is brick with limestone dressings, displaying a five-window range with a 20th-century ground floor. It features a central Doric doorcase with pilasters and a pediment, a fanlight, and a six-panel door. The windows have cambered heads and five stepped voussoirs, similar to those on the front, with all but the doorway being blind. The interior has not been inspected. Park Street was developed over approximately 40 years and suffered severe damage around 1940, leading to much of it being rebuilt in a similar style after the war.
