19, Eastborough

19 Eastborough, also known as 10 Leading Post Street, is a pair of shops located in Scarborough, dating from the early 19th century. The building occupies a corner site and features a curved double frontage at 19 Eastborough. It stands three storeys tall and is constructed of red brick, topped with a pantile roof that has a rounded hip at the corner and brick end stacks.

The ground floor of 19 Eastborough showcases a mid-19th century double shop front, characterized by a thin panelled pilaster frame, panelled risers, and glazed double doors with a rectangular fanlight above. Shaped brackets support a frieze that leads to a modillion cornice. The left-hand shop window, originally made of curved sheet glass, has been replaced with modern flat plate glass. The double doors and fanlight are noticeably out of square, likely due to the sloping ground of Eastborough. To the left, on Leading Post Street, there is a panelled door providing side access to the rear of the shop.

The ground floor of 10 Leading Post Street features a single-fronted shop window with three over three lights, framed by pilasters, a frieze, and a moulded cornice, along with a recessed door to the right.

On the upper floors, there are three windows; the left-hand windows belong to 10 Leading Post Street, while the right-hand windows are directly above the shop door of 19 Eastborough. Formerly blocked windows have been replaced with late 19th century style sash windows fitted in 2005. The original windows, which have flush architrave framed sashes and intact glazing bars, are also out of square, with the right-hand windows curving to match the building's frontage.

Inside, the second floor of 19 Eastborough retains original panelled doors and other joinery. The interior of 10 Leading Post Street, which was not inspected, is reported to still have fireplaces.

Overall, 19 Eastborough and 10 Leading Post Street are notable examples of early 19th century commercial architecture on a constrained site, with particular interest in the handmade joinery, especially the curving and out-of-square features of 19 Eastborough.
