Description
No. 73 High Street is a house with a shop, built in the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring stone dressings, and has a Welsh slate gabled roof behind a parapet with brick chimney stacks.
The building has three storeys with an attic and consists of two bays. The late 19th-century shop front is framed by panelled pilasters and a thin fascia, with a recessed doorway and a part-glazed door to the right. The transom display windows are adorned with leaded coloured glass toplights. Above the shop front, there are plain end pilasters, sill band courses, a moulded cornice, and plain coping at the parapet. The windows are margin-pane sashes set in moulded stone architraves, with small brackets supporting the second-floor sills. A flat-roofed dormer window is located over the first bay.
The interior has not been inspected. This building is similar to, but not identical with, the adjoining No. 75.
