Description
66 Fore Street is a building that dates back to the 17th century or earlier, with a later front added to the street in the 18th century. It is two storeys high and constructed of stucco, featuring a small moulded eaves cornice. The roof is modern and made of pantiles, continuing seamlessly with the adjacent building.
On the first floor, there are three windows with moulded frames, all fitted with glazing bar sashes. The ground floor includes a shop window on the left, framed with fluted pilasters and an entablature that has a dentilled cornice. To the right, there is a half-glazed door with a plain fanlight, set within a rectangular architrave surround. At the rear, there is a courtyard shared with No 67, which is built of rubble and features 17th-century cross windows on the first and second floors.
This building is part of an outstanding group that includes Nos 65 to 68, Nos 70 to 73, the railings and gates to Nos 68 and 70, a dwarf stone wall to No 72, No 64 (Lloyds Bank), and Usher's Brewery Corner Block, along with No 8 and the premises occupied by K.J. Lestor to the southwest of No 8 Wicker Hill.
