Biggleston

Biggleston is a detached ironmonger's shop built in 1894. It features painted rubble walls and a pair of grouted scantle slate roofs that are parallel with hipped ends at the rear and pediments over the double shopfront at the front. The shop has cast-iron ogee-section gutters. The building has a square plan and is single storey, with unpierced masonry walls on the sides and a full-width glazed shopfront at the front, which includes a central splayed entrance. The west front remains unaltered, showcasing a double shopfront with a central doorway set back within an open splayed porch formed by the shop windows. It has original 5-light shop windows that are two panes high, along with original doors. Above each half of the shopfront is a moulded pediment, and there is a semi-circular shop sign positioned between the pediments. The interior is simple. This single-storey shop was built in the front gardens of a pair of 19th-century cottages, as the only shop in the area previously was the Harvey Emporium.
