119, High Street

No. 119 High Street is a house with a shop located at the end of a row, dating from the early 19th century. It features Flemish bond brickwork, which is painted at the corner, and has a slate roof with a brick stack. This narrow-frontage property has a long return to Trinity Street and stands three storeys high with a basement, displaying a single-window façade. The windows are 12-pane sashes set within brick voussoirs and stone cills.

The shop front, which is from the 19th century, has a plate-glass design with pilasters and a fascia that are currently concealed by late 20th-century alterations. To the left of the shop front, there is a glazed door with a shallow transom light above, accessed by one stone step. The coped parapet extends to the left, covering the first stack, and continues over the two-window range to the right, hiding the hipped roof that features two large stacks on the party wall.

The right side has wide-spaced 12-pane sashes, and centrally on the ground floor, there is a two-panel 19th-century door within a thin fluted doorcase, topped by a moulded wood pediment above a painted-over fanlight. Although this building is a modest late addition, it occupies an important position at the entrance to Trinity Street, framing the view of Trinity Church. The neat quadrant corner is typical of the 19th century and likely influenced the original design of the shop front. A 19th-century cast-iron sign for Trinity Street remains on the wall at first-floor level. The interior has not been inspected.
