Description
No. 17 Victoria Road is a shop with a house above, dating from around 1830. It is constructed of stone rubble with a front featuring roughcast timber-framing, and it has disused stacks with no visible chimney shafts. The roof is hipped and covered with slate. The building has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys tall with a two-window range.
The ground floor features a simple late 19th to early 20th century timber shop front. This includes windows with vertical glazing bars on either side of a recessed doorway that contains a part-glazed door. Plain pilasters with moulded caps support the fascia at each end. Above, the roughcast front has tall original 12-pane sash windows with timber pedimented heads on the first floor, while the second floor has 20th-century casements without glazing bars, set under original timber segmental pediment heads. The low parapet has flat coping with continuous fluting along its narrow front edge, and the roof is gable-ended to the right.
The interior has not been inspected. This building is part of an important group of early 19th-century structures overlooking the Market Square, which was developed in the 1820s on land reclaimed from the old mill pool. New Road, now known as Victoria Road, was constructed in 1825 to allow horse-drawn carriages access in and out of the town.
