11, Bridge Street

No. 11 Bridge Street is a house with a shop, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century, with a mid-19th century shop front and late 19th century workshops at the rear. The building has rendered solid walls, while the workshops are constructed of exposed stone rubble and brick. It features slate roofs, although part of the workshops is covered with corrugated iron or asbestos. A late 19th century red brick chimney with spiked pots is located on the right gable end.

The building has a double-depth plan, with a large shop on the left and an entrance passage to the right leading to a rear staircase and a small room. The left rear wing contains former workshops, which are now part of No. 18 Market Place. The structure is two storeys high with a basement and has a three-window range.

The shop front and house door are flanked and separated by pilasters that support an entablature. The shop features two display windows, each with six panes, canted in the center towards a recessed door. To the right, there are paired house doors, each six-panelled with matching reveals; the bottom panels are generally flush, except for the left-hand door, which has all moulded panels with a raised moulding in the center. To the right of the doors is a box-framed sash window with margin panes, and below it, where the ground falls away, is a 20th century basement door. The upper storey has barred sashes in concealed frames, with eight over eight panes in the center and ten over ten panes on the outside.

The interior was inspected in the ground storey and basement only. The main house features a wooden staircase with shaped step-ends, thin square balusters, and a fluted column-newel. The rear wing has two late 19th century staircases with slender turned balusters.
