14, Cross Street

No. 14 Cross Street is a house that has been converted into a shop. It features a front that dates from the early to mid 19th century, possibly added to an 18th-century house. The front wall is solid and rendered, topped with a slated roof and red ridge tiles. A large red brick chimney is located on the rear wall. The building stands three storeys high and has a two-window range.

On the ground floor, there is an early or mid 19th-century doorway on the right, flanked by Doric pilasters that support an entablature. To the left, there is a late 19th-century projecting shop window with canted sides, supported by iron columns with moulded caps and bases at the sides and corners, and a wooden entablature above. Below the cills of the second storey, there is a raised band. The upper storeys feature barred sashes set in recessed box-frames, with six panes per sash in the second storey and eight panes in the third storey. The building is finished with a bracketed eaves cornice.

The interior has not been inspected. Historically, this house was the birthplace of WNP Barbellion, also known as Bruce Cummings, who authored "Journal of a Disappointed Man" in 1919, which was reprinted in 1985.
