22, 24 AND 26, CASTLE STREET

22, 24, and 26 Castle Street are two shops with a gallery above, likely a former house, dating from the early 18th century with some later alterations. The front is made of coursed squared limestone, which is now painted, and it has a Welsh slate roof with brick stacks at both ends. The building has two storeys and an attic, featuring a five-window range.

On the first floor, there are five late 18th-century 6/6-pane sash windows that retain much of their original crown glass, set in flat beaded surrounds with moulded stone cills. The ground floor has a pair of similar shop fronts, probably from the late 19th century, now fitted with plate glass and glazed doors. There is one window to the left (No. 26) and two windows to the right (No. 22), with the right windows retaining pierced ventilation panels at the top. A frieze and moulded cornice run across the entire building.

In the center (No. 24), a six-panel door with raised and fielded panels and a single-pane overlight in a plain reveal provides access to the gallery on the first floor. The building features three gabled dormers with 19th-century two-light timber casements and a deep coved eaves cornice. The interior has not been inspected.
