Description
36 Gala Park is a later 19th-century, two-storey, five-bay shop with a bow-fronted design, featuring a workroom above and an attached annexe that was converted for office use in 2006. The shop has a wide two-bay corniced shopfront with large workroom windows facing north. On the west elevation, there is a later narrow double-height timber canted window and a bipartite pitched timber dormer with slated cheeks and decorative bargeboards. The building is constructed of coursed whin rubble with stugged and droved sandstone margins and quoins, and it has stone cills. The rear (south) elevation includes a mix of early 20th-century single-storey brick additions and a late 20th-century rendered stair section, while the east elevation is plain rendered.
The windows are predominantly timber sash and case, with four and eight panes. The shopfront features plate glass windows and a half-glazed timber door with a fanlight and decorative timber panels depicting rolls of fabric. There is also a plain 20th-century timber door to the right, which has a fanlight above. The roofs are covered with small slate, featuring lead ridges, and there are coped ashlar end stacks on the east side, brick end stacks on the west side, and cast-iron downpipes.
Inside, the original plain decorative scheme of vertical timber boarding is preserved throughout the open-plan rooms of the shop. The main shop floor includes round-plan cast-iron columns. There is an office at the rear of the ground floor and a small manager's office on the upper floor, which features a plain fireplace and a window facing the rear. The interior also has glazed doors leading to a dog-leg stair with turned timber balusters, and there is a half-glazed door at the half-landing that once provided access to exterior steps, now removed. The office accommodation boasts fine panelled woodwork around the canted windows and decorative plasterwork in the principal rooms. Additionally, there is an earlier 20th-century panelled reception hallway at the main entrance.
