70 And 72, Parsonage Street

Nos 70 and 72 on Parsonage Street is a shop with flats above, built around 1840. The building features a 20th-century shop front and is constructed of white Flemish bond brick with red brick arches, limestone dressings, and coursed rubble limestone on the side and rear walls. It has brick chimneys and a plain tile roof. The structure is three stories tall with a large rear wing. The front has a three-window arrangement above the shop front, with brick flat arches; the middle floor has 16-pane sash windows, while the upper floor has 12-pane sash windows. There is a coved stone eaves cornice and brick chimneys mounted on the ridge. A single-storey addition on the west side that extends the shop front is not of special interest. The building is included for its group value.
