Description
This shop, number 8 and one bay of number 6, likely dates to the 17th century or earlier, with a front facade probably built in the first half of the 18th century. It was altered in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The structure is built with Flemish-bond brickwork and has a tiled roof. It is four windows wide, two rooms deep, and two storeys high with attics.
On the ground floor, the left-hand window is part of the adjoining property at number 6, set within a cambered brick arch. Below, there is a plain brick plinth. To the right of this window is a shop front with six vertical panes of glass above a low stallboard. It features plain pilasters on either side, with consoles framing a plain fascia over the top. A glazed door sits to the right, along with a further three-pane window, a pilaster at the end and a fascia matching the first section. The first floor has three semi-circular headed windows on the left, featuring stone sills, moulded brick surrounds, projecting stone springers, and keystones. The semi-circular head panes are set forward of a 12-pane sash window, featuring wide glazing bars. Above this is a pediment with moulded brick dentils, and a semi-circular window in the centre, matching those below. To the right, the facade is slightly set back, and there is a tripartite sash window on the first floor with single-pane sashes. The eaves match the design of the pediment, and the roof runs parallel to the road, with a ridge slightly higher over the pedimented section. A brick chimney is positioned forward of the ridge, to the left of the centre of the pediment.
Inside, the main shop on the left has a ceiling divided into quarters with heavy, chamfered beams, incorporating decorative leaf stops. The rear wall is Limber framed, along with a cross wall and gable that connects to number 10.
