Description
No. 70 Westgate Street is a shop and former dwelling built around 1754, with alterations made in the late 19th century. The building is constructed of brick that has been painted white, topped with an end-gabled slate roof and featuring a brick gable-end stack on the right side. It is a narrow double-depth block with an extension at the rear.
The exterior consists of three storeys and a cellar. The front displays a prominently projecting timber cornice with modillions and returned ends. The late 19th-century shop front is framed by stone pilasters and brackets at each end of the shop fascia and cornice. On the upper floors, there are two plain horned sash windows, likely in their original flush frames, set in openings with projecting stone sills. There was previously a roof dormer.
The interior has not been inspected. A lease from 1754 indicates that this is the first renewal since the building was completely rebuilt.
