68, Park Street

No. 68 Park Street is an attached house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from 1762 and was completed around 1800, designed by Thomas Paty. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar and features party wall stacks and a pantile mansard roof. It has a double-depth plan and is designed in the mid-Georgian style, standing three storeys tall with an attic and a four-window range. The shop front, added in the 20th century, includes 19th-century scrolled consoles at the ends of a dentil cornice, along with pilasters, a cornice, and a parapet. The first-floor windows are 6/9-pane sashes, the second-floor windows are 6/6-pane sashes, and there are three hipped dormers. Inside, the shop has been largely remodelled, but features an elliptical entrance hall arch with fluted pilasters. 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.
