16, Meneage Street

No. 16 on Meneage Street is a town house with a later shop, dating from the early to mid-19th century. The exterior features a render that has replaced the original stucco on studwork, and it has a dry slate roof with projecting eaves. There is a shared brick stack on the right and a cast-iron ogee gutter. The building has a deep plan and was probably originally part of a larger house with a central through-passage connecting Nos. 16 and 18.

It stands three storeys tall and has a two-window range. The second floor retains original 16-pane hornless sash windows set within moulded wooden architraves. The first floor features a similar later horned sash window on the right and a late 19th-century oriel window on the left, which has a moulded cornice and horned sashes with large panes. The ground floor showcases a late 19th-century canted double shop front with round-arched quadrant end lights and splayed central sidelights leading to a doorway with an original pair of glazed and panelled doors and an overlight. The front mullions have been removed and replaced with plate glass, and there is a moulded entablature with a blind slot and an original cornice. The interior was not accessible at the time of the survey but is likely to be of interest.
