11-29, Warwick Road

A terrace of a public house and seven houses, now nine shops with offices above, was built in the 1830s and has undergone later alterations. The building is constructed of painted stucco and render, with some areas featuring V-jointed quoins and stone-bracketed metal gutters. It has graduated greenslate roofs with 19th-century and 20th-century end and ridge chimney stacks. The central three shops are three storeys and two bays, while the remaining buildings are two storeys and two bays, each with differing roof lines, though the two-storey buildings share common roofs. The ground floors have mixed early 20th-century and late 20th-century shop fronts. The upper floors feature sash windows, some with glazing bars within painted stone architraves. Number 11 was formerly the Lord Brougham Inn, which closed in 1932, and has a seven-bay return on Crosby Street. Number 29 has a two-bay return on Earl Street; there is no number 31, as previously stated in older list descriptions. The interior of number 17, formerly a butcher's shop, retains an early 20th-century shop window and a tiled interior, with some individual tiles depicting cattle scenes and bulls' heads, and marble slabs. The street was originally laid out as a turnpike road to Brampton between 1829 and 1830, and the section of Warwick Road where this terrace stands was once called Henry Street.
