Description
No 31 on Bell Street is an early 19th-century corner building, paired with No 33. It has two storeys and a basement, featuring two windows facing Mustons Lane and two windows on Bell Street, with a curved window at the corner between them. The front is rendered, and it has a slate hipped roof. The windows are three panes wide, although some glazing bars are missing from the ground floor windows. The original curved shop front has been altered, but the fascia and cornice remain; it now has a later shop front with two small windows that have glazing bars, angled towards a central doorway. The building has a higher frontage compared to No 29. Nos 29 to 35 (odd) form a group.
