SD6592SE MAIN STREET, Sedbergh Town 162-1/26/411 (South side) Nos.37 AND 39

GV II

Two shops, formerly with dwellings over. Probably mid C19; altered (and perhaps raised). Scored render to ground and 1st floors, roughcast render to 2nd floor (sides and rear of random rubble), slate roof. Double-depth plan plus back extensions. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and 5 windows, with channelled pilasters, plain frieze and moulded string to the first 2 floors only. Extending almost the full width of the ground floor is a C19 wooden shop-front composed of fluted pilasters with diamond capitals, panelled aprons, entablature with plain frieze interrupted by diamond panels over the pilasters, and simple moulded cornice (with canopy apparatus over the centre and right-hand windows). Within this shop front No.37 has a pair of doorways flanked by windows (square to the left and oblong to the right) and No.39 has a doorway to the right and a 2-light window to the left. All the doors are part-glazed, with overlights and all the windows have plate-glass glazing. Attached to the wall over the doorway of No.37 is a slender wrought-iron scrolled bracket for a hanging sign. Both upper floors have sashed windows, those at 1st floor hornless. Gable chimneys with slab cornices. INTERIOR not inspected. A long, regular and relatively unaltered C19 facade, forming an interesting contrast to the varied pattern of this street and grouping well with No.41 (qv).
