Description

Bow Street Emporium is a building that likely underwent remodelling in the 19th century, originally dating from the 18th century. It features a brick construction in Flemish bond with Ham stone dressings, all of which are colourwashed. The roof is made of Welsh slate and has a shallow pitch between coped gables, topped with a brick chimney stack. The building is two storeys high and consists of three bays.

Notable architectural details include rusticated quoins at the first floor, a cornice moulding, and a shallow plain parapet. The plain sash windows on the upper floor are set within architraves that have keystoned segmental arches and bracketed cills. The ground floor has a timber shopfront that spans the entire facade, featuring a four-panel door to the left under a rectangular margined fanlight. This is followed by later 20th-century recessed shop windows and central doors, which are sheltered by a 19th-century hood supported by console brackets and pilasters. The interior has not been seen.
