16, Silver Street

16 Silver Street is a building with two sections, dating from the 18th century on the right and the 19th century on the left. The building is constructed of colour-washed ashlar. The 19th-century left section has two storeys, featuring a moulded cornice and a parapet with an openwork balustrade that is now blocked. On the first floor, there is one large round-headed window with a moulded arch, impost capitals, and a keystone, along with a sash window that does not have glazing bars. The ground floor has three round-headed arches that form a porch under the upper floor. These arches are moulded and also feature impost capitals and keystones that connect with a stringcourse above. Inside the porch, there is one small round-headed window and a square-headed door with three panels and a rectangular fanlight.

The 18th-century part on the right has three storeys and a stone slate roof that is hipped to the left. It has an eaves cornice and one window per storey, with sashes in plain reveals and intact glazing bars. The windows are adorned with decorative wrought-iron balconettes, and there is a large shop window on the ground floor.

This building is part of a group that includes Nos 15 to 17 Silver Street, all the listed buildings in Whiteheads Lane, and Nos 1 to 4 and Nos 7 and 8 White Hill.
