47, High Street

This is a late 19th-century butcher’s shop with living accommodation above, though parts of the building likely date from earlier, concealed behind a re-modelled front. The front wall is rendered, and the roof is slate-covered.

The building is two storeys high with a garret, and the front facade has been raised to create the impression of a third full storey. It is two windows wide. The ground floor has a fine tiled butcher's shopfront, likely dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, although partly obscured by later 20th-century casing. The shopfront features flanking pilasters topped with large consoles and a bracketed cornice, with tiling below the display window decorated with bulls' heads in colour.

The second floor has two canted bay windows with bracketed top cornices featuring quatrefoils between the brackets. These windows have plain sashes, but contain panels of coloured, leaded glass above crenellated transoms. The window heads are incorporated into a dentilled cornice that sits at sill level on the apparent third storey. Windows in this upper level have double sashes: four panes in the upper sashes and two in the lower. A moulded board runs below the eaves. The rear wall contains several windows with barred sashes.

The interior was not inspected, but the shop retains its original tiling and a wooden cashier's box. An early photograph shows the front of the building before it was raised, but the bay windows were already present on the second floor.
