Description
Days Gone By Antiques is a 2-storey building with its gable end facing the street, originally constructed with scribed stucco walls and a slate roof that is concealed behind a coped gable at No 6 and a parapet at No 6A. The building is adjoined on the left side by a single-bay 3-storey house.
The shop front of No 6 features a panelled door with an overlight to the right, a 2-light window with a central fluted mullion, and a bracketed fascia. Above this, there is a 3-light small-pane casement window set in an earlier opening. No 6A has a panelled door to the right, with a full-height canted bay window to the left that includes renewed small-pane sashes.
On the right side wall of No 6, the second of its four bays reveals exposed box-framing with large panels and wattle and daub infill. The building 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, indicating that it was only partly timber-framed. The lower storey preserves most of the original joist-beam ceiling, featuring simple run-out stops, while the upper storey contains a fireplace in its rear wall with a timber lintel.
