Days Gone By Antiques

The original building is 2-storey with its gable end facing the street. It is adjoined on the L side by a single-bay 3-storey house. Both are of scribed stucco walls and slate roofs concealed behind coped gable to No 6 and parapet to 6A, with a reduced stack to the rear gable end. No 6 has a shop front with panelled door and overlight to the R, 2-light window with central fluted mullion, and bracketed fascia. Above is a 3-light small-pane casement window in an earlier opening. No 6A has a panelled door to the R, to the L of which is a full-height canted bay window incorporating renewed small-pane sashes.

In the R side wall of No 6 the second of its 4 bays has exposed box-framing of large panels and wattle and daub infill. No 6 retains a 4-bay crown-post roof with cambered tie beams and collars which respects the exposed framing but rests on corbels on the opposite wall, suggesting that the building was only partly timber-framed. In the lower storey most of the original joist-beam ceiling is retained, with simple run-out stops. The upper storey has a fireplace in its rear wall with timber lintel.
