5 And 7 The Cross

5 and 7 The Cross are mid 19th century, near symmetrical, single-storey and attic double-fronted commercial buildings featuring a pair of piended dormers that break the wallhead. The street-facing (west) elevation is finished with white painted harl. The premises have a pair of nearly intact shop fronts, each with 2-leaf timber storm doors, recessed glass and timber inner entrance doors, and flanking display windows that have low, broad, canted cills. The shop fronts are topped with timber fascias and cornices. There is also a later single-storey flat-roofed extension at the rear.

The shop windows are made of plate glass, while the dormers feature 8-lying-pane timber sash and case windows. The buildings have a double pitched roof covered with graded grey slates, raised skews, and cast iron rainwater goods that include decorative hoppers and brackets. A brick gable stack is located on the left side, adorned with decorative cans.

Internally, the buildings have been largely altered, with partial observations made in 2007. The shop on the right is believed to contain two Victorian fire surrounds, and the attic features a coombed ceiling.
