1 and 1a, Bath Road

1 and 1A Bath Road are part of the Bath Street development, built around 1811. The buildings are three storeys tall with an attic, featuring ashlar fronts and slate roofs. They have a cornice with an astragal and a blocking course. Number 1 has a chamfered corner with blind windows and consists of one plus one plus two plus two bays, while number 1A slightly projects forward. Both buildings have glazing bar sash windows. Number 1 features a late 19th-century shop front with a dentil fascia cornice and curved corner brackets at the glazed corner, along with remnants of an older shop front that includes a channelled pier. Number 1A has first-floor windows set in arched reveals with a moulded impost-level string. There is a plat band over the ground floor with an arched doorway to the left, which has a weathered and radiating fanlight and a six-panel (raised and fielded) door, with a modern shop front to the right. Number 1 also shows traces of an early 20th-century painted advertisement below the cornice. Bath Street is a steeply sloping and winding street established in 1811 to create a wide and direct route from the Market Place to the south.
