Description

Nos. 21 and 23 Whielden Street are a 17th-century building that has been altered later. The construction is primarily red and grey brick, with some renewed timber framing to the first floor on the left-hand side. The roof is tiled, with three gabled dormers, each containing a 2-light casement window with old leaded glazing to the outer ones. A coved cornice runs along the top of the building.

The building is two storeys high, and features a giant brick Tuscan pilaster set on a plinth, situated between Nos. 21 and 23 with a single bay of first-floor band to the left. No. 21 has a modern door and a 3-light leaded casement window with segmental arches. It also has a 2-light transomed leaded casement window on the first floor. No. 23 has a modern door with a pediment hood supported on brackets, and a 3-light leaded casement window on either side; the window on the right is positioned within what was formerly a carriageway, both with flat arches. The first floor of No. 23 also has an old 2-light transomed casement window to the right, and two 3-light casement windows to the left, all with leaded glass and flat arches. On the left-hand side, a former shop front, once belonging to No. 25, is now bricked up, and includes a canted bay window beneath a frieze and cornice hood.
