Description
60 and 62 Parsonage Street is a former rope walk that has been converted into a shop and market building, dating from the early to mid-19th century, with a 20th-century shop front. The structure is built of Flemish bond red brick with a blue plinth and features corrugated iron roofs. It stands three stories tall, reducing to two stories at the rear, and has an open arcaded ground floor.
The front elevation has single-window fenestration above the shop front, with a glazed four-panel loading door on the middle floor and a four-pane sash window on the upper floor, both topped with brick flat arches that have cambered intrados. The parapet gable is finished with stone coping and kneelers. On the west side, there are four weatherboarded panels alternating with brickwork, each containing a large casement window on the middle floor and a smaller casement above. The ground floor features workshop glazing and a glazed door, with random rubble base walls below the panels and sandstone sills.
At the rear, the market building is timber framed, supported by triple clusters of timber posts, with casement windows above. The market area is paved with brick and concrete, designed to accommodate market stalls. While the building is modest in architectural terms, it holds significance for its visual impact and as a record of the historical activities in this part of Dursley. A return block at the south end was largely destroyed in a fire in 1985 and is no longer of special interest.
