The Parade

The Parade is a mid to late 19th-century building located on Cheap Street. It has three storeys and an attic, featuring three window bays. The roof is tiled with a gabled design and includes three hipped slate dormers, along with brick stacks. The façade has a plain parapet and a moulded entablature, with rusticated quoins and a plastered front. The windows are sash style, and there are two three-storey canted bays. Each bay is flanked by narrow semi-circular wooden pilasters with necking bands. The central window on the first and second floors has a moulded surround and keyblock. A moulded string course runs between the first and second storeys. The doorway for No 80 is round-headed and lacks fanlight tracery, featuring a four-panelled door. The shopfront for No 80 has plain plate-glass windows in the canted bay, while the shop for No 82 has arched heads to the canted bay, divided by long, thin wooden columns topped with Corinthian capitals. The building is part of a group that includes Nos 54 and 56, a gate, lamp, and overthrow between Nos 54 and 56, The Methodist Church, and Nos 58 to 82 (even).
