Plas Newydd (Premises of Knitwise)

Plas Newydd, also known as the premises of Knitwise, is a building featuring coursed rubble masonry that is rendered at the front, with later extensions on the left gable ends. The rear range has a moderately pitched slate roof and a square stone stack on the left, complete with water tabling. The façade includes two semi-apsidal bays, which were formerly slate hung and have hipped slate roofs, flanking a slightly recessed central bay that has a pediment treatment. There are lateral stacks on the extreme right and on the left side of the centre and left 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 eaves cornice of the flanking apsidal bays features dentils, and the tripartite Victorian sashes are canted back. All first-floor glazing was previously small paned sashes. The ground floor has a continuous fascia over the shopfronts, with recessed entrances, modern doors, and shop windows.

To the left, there is a later asymmetric twin-gabled extension facing Meyrick Street, which has bargeboards and exposed purlins, and is pebbledashed. This extension features Victorian sash windows, with one at the apex of the left gable and three on the first floor, the right window being narrower. A modern window is present on the ground floor 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. There is a Victorian sash window to the right, and a low flat-roofed extension adjoins the apsidal bay on the right.

The central bay facing Eldon Square was the Red Lion public house in 1820. Inside, the first floor retains sturdy chamfered beams.
