Description
This is an 18th-century terrace of red brick buildings, with No. 26 colourwashed, located on the west side of South Street. The roof is tiled, with a rendered stack. The building is two storeys high with an attic, and features a brick modillion eaves cornice.
No. 22 has a modern shopfront with a fascia that partially obscures the first floor. No. 24 has a 19th-century shopfront with simple pilasters, a sash window with glazing bars, and a flush-panelled door on the ground floor. No. 26 has a projecting shopfront of a similar date with renewed glazing bars.
The first floor of the terrace has three casement windows and two sash windows with glazing bars; the window on No. 26 has a keystone. There is one skylight, two half-hipped attic dormers with weatherboard fronts and casements, and one attic dormer with a hipped tile roof and tile-hung sides, featuring Yorkshire casements.
The Trinity Lane elevation of No. 26 includes two segment-headed Yorkshire casements on the first floor, and on the ground floor, a modern window and a neo-Victorian door set within the original segment-headed opening, which is covered by a neo-Georgian moulded hood.
Nos. 2 to 10 (even), The Unitarian Chapel, Nos. 12 to 32 (even), and the Holy Trinity Gallery form a nearby group.
