30 And 32, St Thomas Street

A pair of houses on St Thomas Street, dating from the 18th century with an early 19th-century front range, originally built as three cottages. The front of the building is rendered with imitation ashlar joints, topped by a Mansard roof covered with double Roman clay tiles, and featuring brick chimney stacks. The front range was originally three cottages, each with one heated room and a winder stair opposite the chimney stack; two of the original outer cross passages remain. To the rear, on the right, is an older bakery range, with 20th-century extensions to the rear.

The exterior is two storeys and three bays, appearing almost symmetrical. It features a plinth and small-paned casement windows with segmental arches, except for the lower bay on the right, which has a former shop window with a bow of 32 panes, a shallow fascia, cornice, and a flat roof. Between bays one and two, and bays two and three, are 19th-century two-panel doors, also within segmental-arched openings. Number 30 was originally a bakery, and remains of an oven or bakehouse are reportedly present at the rear.

The interior was noted by the Vernacular Architecture Group to contain early 19th-century joinery, fireplaces, and a staircase inscribed with "W. Grist 1819." The property is largely unaltered and represents a notable example of an early 19th-century shop window.
