79 High Street

79 High Street is a later 19th-century, three-storey and attic tenement featuring three bays and a symmetrical design. It includes two shops on the ground floor and two canted dormers, forming part of a terrace. The building has a painted ashlar and smooth render shopfront, while the upper sections are constructed from tooled, squared, coursed yellow sandstone with raised, polished ashlar dressings.

Notable architectural features include a shopfront cornice, a cill course at the first floor, and an eaves course that connects the second-floor lintels. The window margins are stop-chamfered, with bracketed cills at the second floor. The central entrance consists of a six-panel timber tenement door with a fanlight set in a shouldered architrave, flanked by plain shopfronts on the ground floor. The shopfront at No 79 retains its historic door and glazing, while No 77 has a later 20th-century shopfront. The first floor has rectangular openings, and the second floor features basket-arched openings.

The shopfronts are fitted with plate glass, and the first-floor windows have some four-pane glazing in timber sash and case style. The second floor and attic have non-traditional uPVC glazing. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are ashlar-coped skews. A coped ashlar gablehead stack with buff clay cans completes the structure.
