Description
This is a row of shops and dwellings, built in the mid-18th century and altered in the 19th century. The building is constructed of painted brick with ridged and plain-tile roofs and brick end and ridge stacks. It is two storeys and an attic, with a seven-window front. The ground floor has 19th-century shop fronts, featuring canted bay windows and timber cornices that act as hoods over the doors. A canted bay window is present on the first floor to the left, while the other first-floor windows include 12-pane sash windows in No. 213 and one in No. 209, and other 19th-century sash windows, all with flat-arched heads and keyblocks. The eaves are brick modillion on No. 209, with nogged brick eaves on the rest of the building, and there are roof dormers. The interior of No. 209 contains stone cellars. No. 211 has stop-chamfered spine beams and a brick-vaulted cellar.
