72, Dyer Street

No. 72 Dyer Street is a former public house, now used for storage by a shop. It dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century and is constructed of coursed squared limestone with a stone slate roof. The building has been altered with rebuilt brick stacks at both ends. It stands two storeys high with an attic and features a four-window range.

On the first floor, there are four 2-light flat beaded stone mullion-and-transom windows with 19th-century iron casements. The ground floor has three 6/6-pane sash windows in similar beaded reveals, with the original mullions and transoms removed and projecting stone cills added. The building is topped with three hipped dormers, each containing 2-light timber casements.

The entrance door to the right is deeply recessed and features a 19th-century six-panel door with a three-panel timber panel to the left, all set within a beaded stone reveal. The structure has a deep plinth and cavetto-moulded band courses above the ground and first floors. The original timber eaves cornice has been replaced with a 20th-century timber boxed-out imitation.

Inside, the building has seen significant alterations due to its conversion for storage. The ground floor center has a plastered beam with a broad chamfer and run-out stop, while the first floor rear includes a wall post with a bracket head supporting a plastered chamfered beam with a run-out stop. There is a dog-leg stair leading from the first to the second floor, and the roof has three bays with visible threaded purlins.
