70, High Street

No. 70 High Street is an early 19th-century house that is part of a row of buildings and is in the same ownership as No. 69. It features Flemish bond brickwork and has a slate or asbestos-cement slate roof. The building is designed in an L shape with a parapeted front facing the street, a mansard roof, and two lower wings angled at the back. It has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a two-windowed facade. The upper floors have sixteen 20-pane sash windows with fine brick voussoirs and stooled stone cills. On the ground floor, there is a tripartite sash window with bars, a small opening leading to the basement, and an arched doorway on the right with a fanlight above a flush panelled door. This doorway leads to a passage that opens to an alley. A brick string course runs above the second floor windows, and there is a very high brick parapet topped with concrete coping. The back of the building includes a mansard-roofed wing with a lancet window at ground level, and a second, lower gabled wing featuring central two-light casements set in cambered brick arches. The interior has not been inspected.
