Description

Plas Newydd, the premises of Dolgelly Jewellers, is a building constructed with coursed rubble masonry, which is rendered at the front and in later extensions on 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 structure 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 on the left side of the centre and left-hand bays, with the latter being rendered.

The central bay's pediment-like gable is supported by 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.

There is a later asymmetric twin-gabled extension on the left side facing Meyrick Street, which has bargeboards and exposed purlins, and is pebbledashed. This extension includes Victorian sash windows, with one at the apex of the left gable and three on the first floor, the right one being narrower. The ground floor has a modern window on the left, a central doorway with a small window to the left, and a cellar opening below with a wooden shutter. There is also a Victorian sash window to the right, and a low flat-roofed extension adjoins the right apsidal bay.

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