Description
The Bridge Galleries, located at 24 Bridge Street, is a 17th-century building featuring rubble walls and a modern pantile roof. It has two gables and stands two storeys tall with attics in the gables. The building has two windows in the attics with three lights each, and on the first floor, there are four-light casement windows with concave-moulded stone mullions and drip-moulds, all of which are original.
The central doorway is square-headed, with an ashlar lintel and a flat wooden hood supported by wrought-iron brackets. To the left of the doorway is a square-headed fixed-light window with glazing bars, and to the right is a fixed-light shop window, also with glazing bars in an exposed wooden frame. There are flush relieving arches above the ground floor windows. The building features a tall ashlar stack on the ridge and a shorter stack to the left of the left-hand gable. An incised stone tablet on the right-hand gable reads "A.H. 1675."
The Bridge Galleries is part of a group that includes Nos 12 to 14, Nos 16 to 25, the Old Forge on Bridge Street, and Nos 1 and 2 St Margaret's Street.
