GV II

House at end of row, with shop. Early C19. Flemish bond brickwork, painted to the quadrant corner, slate roof, brick stack. A narrow-frontage property with a long return to Trinity Street. 3 storeys and basement, 1-windowed. 12-pane sashes to brick voussoirs, stone cills. C19 plate-glass pilaster shop front, with flat corner splay under the curved quadrant in the wall above, and returning in 2 bays to Trinity Street; the pilasters and fascia are concealed by late C20 work. Glazed door under shallow transom-light to the left, on one stone step. The coped parapet returns, left, to the first stack, and continues over the 2-window range to the right, concealing the hipped roof, with 2 large stacks on the party wall. Here are wide-spaced 12-pane sashes, and, central to the ground floor, a 2-panel C19 door in thin fluted doorcase, with an open moulded wood pediment over a painted-over fanlight. This is a modest late building, but it holds an important position at the opening to Trinity Street, framing the view to the front of Trinity Church (qv); the neat quadrant corner is characteristic of the C19, and was probably reflected in the glazing to the shop front in the original design. The C19 cast-iron Trinity Street sign remains on the wall at first-floor level. INTERIOR not inspected.
