1, Southgate Place

No. 1 Southgate Place is a town house that later incorporated a shop, built against the town wall and gateway. It likely has a Medieval core, with visible structure dating from the 18th century and a late 19th-century shop front. The building features render on rubble on part of the lower floors, while the rest has slate hanging on a timber frame. It has a fairly steep asbestos slate roof and consists of two and partly three storeys over a basement, with the ground floor at Angel Hill. The facade has a one-window range, with a one-window return to the front left and another one-window return into Angel Hill. There are four late 19th-century horned sash windows, one of which has glazing bars. The main front includes a two-pane sash window above a canted slate-hung bay roofed with rag slate, with a similar sash above a canted shop front that features small panes over transoms and a moulded entablature with fascia. There is a glazed door on the left and another glazed door leading to the adjoining return. The interior was not accessible at the time of the survey.
