18 Bangor Street

14-24 Bangor Street is a row of 6 shops with dwellings above, comprising 3 storeys with attic space. The buildings are designed in bold and enriched Victorian classical style. The walls are of painted roughcast and the roof is slate, retaining mainly original thick slates though partly renewed.

Each premises spans 2 bays, with the right-hand shop at No 14 being narrower than its neighbour. The ground-floor shop fronts are framed by bold fluted Ionic pilasters with fascia and cornice incorporating a dentil frieze. The pilasters have been cut through at No 22 to accommodate a late 19th-century shop front, though the cornice of the original fascia remains partly visible. Above the shops, each premises is framed by panelled pilasters that are separately articulated to each floor, rising to an entablature and deep bracketed eaves cornice.

The middle storey windows feature moulded sill bands, Corinthian pilasters and moulded tympana decorated with anthemion and other relief foliage, with moulding continuing as an impost band. The capitals to the pilasters are missing from Nos 18, 20 and 22. No 22 retains its original 4-pane sash windows, while windows in the other properties have been replaced. The upper storey windows have corbelled sill bands and moulded keyed architraves. Nos 20, 22 and 24 retain original 4-pane sash windows; the remainder have been replaced. The end premises at Nos 14 and 24 retain their original dormers. On the left side, No 24 has a pair of 4-pane sash windows, though its gable has been removed. On the right side is a pair of replaced windows beneath a cornice on foliage-enriched consoles, with a gable featuring plain barge boards and a semi-circular panel decorated with anthemion and other foliage in relief.

The right side wall is of scribed roughcast with an angle pilaster and cornice over the shop window. Above this are replaced windows in original moulded architraves. A central attic window contains a renewed sash window, and to the right is a renewed tall and narrow stair window.

The rear elevations, which have 2 windows each, are roughcast (rendered to No 18). They feature half dormers and tall and narrow stair lights to the right side, except No 14 which has a stair window in the side wall. Some sash windows are retained.

No 18 specifically retains its original shop front framed by thin panelled pilasters, comprising a boarded stall riser to a 3-light shop window, the (probably arched) heads of which are obscured behind a later deep fascia. A half-lit panelled door to the right has a plain overlight.
