40, High Street

This is an early to mid-18th century shop with living accommodation above, altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The exterior is rendered, likely over limestone, with a Westmorland slate roof. The building is three storeys high and two bays wide. The ground floor has a restored late-19th century wooden shop front with a central, segmental-pedimented shop door and a triangular-pedimented access point to the accommodation on the right side. The first and second floors contain sash windows, likely in their original openings, with projecting sills. Fluted lead rainwater heads and down pipes are located at each end of the facade. A moulded eaves cornice and kneelers are present, topped by an ashlar coping. A brick end stack is visible on the left. An Ordnance Survey map from 1849 identifies the building as a Savings Bank.
