8, Maryport Street

Number 8 Maryport Street is a narrow three-storey building, constructed around 1840, featuring a Bath stone front. It has a projecting cornice with a band below and a single window on the top floor, which is small and recessed with three panes in each sash. The first floor has a small canted bay with three sash lights, which have later glazing bars and a moulded frame, topped by a leaded tent roof and a moulded stone oriel type apron. The ground floor showcases an early Victorian shop front, consisting of a window with three arched lights supported by thin colonettes and a moulded sill. To the right of the window is a recessed door with one arched light above a panel and a rectangular fanlight. The shop window and door are flanked by pilasters with moulded capitals resting on small pedestals, and there are cut brackets at each end of the frieze, although the cornice has been replaced by a blind case. Numbers 1 to 16 Maryport Street form a group.
