Description
Plas Newydd, the premises of E.R. & E.M Hughes, is a building constructed with coursed rubble masonry, which is rendered at the front and in later extensions to the left gable ends. It features a moderately pitched slate roof on the rear range and has a square stone stack on the left with water tabling. The façade includes two semi-apsidal bays, which were formerly slate hung, each topped with hipped slate roofs, flanking a slightly recessed central bay that has a pediment treatment. There are lateral stacks on the extreme right and to the left side of the centre and left-hand bays, with the latter being rendered.
The central bay's pediment-like gable rests on a timber dentil cornice above a bipartite Victorian sash window, flanked by thin half-round pilasters. The flanking apsidal bays feature a dentil eaves cornice, and the tripartite Victorian sashes are canted back. All first-floor glazing was previously small paned sashes. A continuous fascia runs over the shopfronts on the ground floor, which have recessed entrances with modern doors and shop windows.
There is a later asymmetric twin-gabled left bay extension facing Meyrick Street, which has bargeboards and exposed purlins, and is pebbledashed. It features Victorian sash windows, with one at the apex of the left gable and three on the first floor, the right one being narrower. A modern window is located on the ground floor to the left, with a doorway in the centre and a small window to the left, along with a cellar opening below that has a wooden shutter. A Victorian sash window is situated to the right. Additionally, there is a low flat-roofed extension that adjoins the apsidal bay to the right.
The "pedimented" bay facing Eldon Square was known as the Red Lion Public House in 1820. Inside, the first floor retains sturdy chamfered beams.
