86, 88 AND 90, PARK STREET

Nos. 86, 88, and 90 on Park Street is a terrace of three houses that have been converted into shops, with the middle one now subdivided. The terrace dates back to 1762 and was completed around 1800, with an extension added around 1850. It was designed by Thomas Paty. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar and features party wall stacks, along with slate and pantile mansard roofs. It has a double-depth plan and consists of three storeys and an attic, with a three-window range. The façade includes pilasters leading to a cornice and parapet, along with a first-floor sill band. The ground floor has 20th-century shop fronts, while the upper floors have plate-glass sashes and paired dormers. There is an additional window at the left-hand end, where the parapet rises to a small pier. The left return features a narrow mid-19th century pedimented section. The interior has not been inspected. Park Street was developed over approximately 40 years and suffered significant damage around 1940, leading to much of it being rebuilt in a similar style after the war.
