Numbers 18 And 18A Yorkrsgate Includuing Number 1 Saville Street

Numbers 18 and 18A Yorkersgate, including Number 1 Saville Street, is a building originally designed as two shops with domestic accommodation above, now functioning as three shops and offices. It dates from the early 19th century, with later 19th and 20th-century alterations. The structure is built from pink and cream mottled brick in English garden-wall bond, resting on a stone plinth, with cream brick quoins and a timber eaves cornice. The roof is slate, hipped to the right, featuring a brick ridge stack towards the left end of the Saville Street range.

The front on Yorkersgate has two storeys and three windows. It features paired pilaster and cornice shopfronts with 20th-century doors and glazing. The first-floor windows are single-pane sashes set beneath flat arches of gauged brick, above a continuous sillband. There is a moulded eaves cornice and a scrolled iron corner bracket supporting the hipped roof.

The Saville Street front also has two storeys and five windows. It includes a central four-panelled door with an overlight, set in a pilastered doorcase topped with a cornice hood on heavy brackets. To the right, there is a passage doorway with a four-panel door and a blocked overlight beneath a flat arch of gauged brick. Between the doors is a pilastered shopfront with a cornice on grooved, gabletted consoles, and a folding blind. A glazed door is recessed to the right of a plate-glass shop window with checkered glass top panels, over a tiled riser, and with a colonnette glazing bar. To the left of the central door is an altered window with a flat arch, while at the left end, there is a pilaster and a cornice plate glass shop window. The first-floor windows consist of four-pane sashes, except for the left end window, which is a single-pane, and the right end window, which is blocked. Other details on this front repeat those found on the Yorkersgate side.
