7 And 9, Anzac Street

A pair of shops with houses above, likely dating from the 18th century, and subsequently modernized. The buildings have stone rubble party walls, with plastered timber-framing for the front and back walls. The right-hand chimney stack (number 9) is no longer in use, but the left-hand stack incorporates a 19th-century brick chimneyshaft and old pots, which are shared with the adjacent property. The roof is covered in slate.

The buildings were originally designed as a pair of mirror-plan houses, each with a single room and extending double-depth. The exterior presents a three-storey, two-window facade. The shop fronts on the ground floor are 20th-century replacements; that of number 7 features fluted brackets supporting a mid-19th-century fascia. Both houses have recessed doorways in their original positions, although the doors themselves are 20th-century replacements. Number 7 retains late 18th/early 19th-century tripartite sash windows to the upper floors, each with an 8/12-pane central sash. Number 9 has 20th-century sash windows without glazing bars. The eaves are plain, running parallel to the roof. The interior remains uninspected but likely contains features of interest.
