Description
The Fisherman (1-3 Snowdon Street) is a range of three storeys built of roughly dressed slate-stone. The middle and upper storeys are painted white, and the building has a slate roof which is hipped at the corner, with a blocking course present at the corner and on the High Street elevation.
No. 1 is a shop and house, with a continuous boarded fascia and deep bracketed cornice to the lower storey. The entrance is in the corner, featuring replacement glazed doors. Above the doors, the wall is faced with white glazed tiles and a large painted sign. The High Street elevation has a replacement shop window, a 4-pane horned sash window on the middle storey, and a round-headed 4-pane sash window in the upper storey, set beneath a gable. The Snowdon Street elevation, which has three windows, features 12-pane hornless sash windows on the middle storey and 9-pane windows above. The lower storey retains original openings, though these have been replaced with a half-glazed door and overlight, a window to the left, and a shop window to the right.
No. 3 is a two-window shop and house situated to the left of No. 1 on Snowdon Street. It has a replacement shop window and half-glazed door framed by Tuscan pilasters, with a fascia and moulded brackets to the cornice. The middle storey has 12-pane hornless sash windows, and the upper storey has 9-pane windows. The left gable end is pebble-dashed and includes an added porch with a single-pitch roof. A narrow 6-pane sash window is present on the left side of the middle storey, and a replacement window is located above it on the upper storey. The rear elevation has similar small windows on the right side. The building belongs to a group extending from numbers 1 to 3 Snowdon Street.
