6 And 6A, Bridgeland Street

Nos. 6 and 6A on Bridgeland Street is a house with shops, built in 1694 and remodelled in the early or mid 19th century. It features a solid rendered front and a slate roof, with a rendered chimney on the right gable end. The building is two rooms wide with a central entrance passage and one room deep, including two rear wings. It stands two storeys high and has a three-window range. The central doorway is flanked by pilasters and an entablature, with panelled reveals and a four-panelled door, of which the two upper panels are glazed. There is a mid-20th century shop front to the right and a late 20th century one to the left. The upper storeys display raised quoins and a raised band, possibly from the 17th century, above the window heads. The windows have moulded eaved architraves and eight-panel sash windows, and there is a bracketed eaves cornice. Inside, the ground-floor front rooms have small moulded plaster cornices, likely from the late 18th or early 19th century. The description from 1987 mentions an early or mid 19th century stair at the rear of the passage and a late 17th century moulded plaster cornice in the first-floor left front room.
