19, Foss Street

No. 19 Foss Street is a late 18th-century or early 19th-century shop with a house above, with some 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of stone rubble with a plastered timber frame, sharing a party wall with the adjacent property. The building has axial and left-end stacks with brick chimneyshafts and old pots, and a slate roof.

The plan consists of two rooms wide and two rooms deep. The exterior is three storeys high with a two-window front on the first floor. The plasterwork is designed to resemble ashlar. The ground floor has a doorway to the left, now containing a 20th-century top-glazed door, and an altered late 19th-century timber shop front with two bays. A canted corner shop doorway is on the right end, featuring a bottom-panelled glazed door between flanking pilasters. Above, the front has two windows per floor, with horned four-pane sashes, the first-floor windows being larger. Plat bands are visible at the first and second floor levels. The roof has plain eaves, and is hipped to the right and gable-ended to the left. The right end wall, facing Broadstone, has a similar two-window front, however the rear contains 20th-century casements.

The interior has not been inspected. Foss Street is the site of a medieval dam which included a tidal mill. The mill pond was filled in and developed around 1820–30, although houses had been built along Foss Street from the 17th century onwards.
