Description
A terrace of 3-storey buildings with attics at 58-64 Abergele Road and 1 Rhiw Bank Avenue, Colwyn Bay, finished in roughcast render with smooth rendered dressings. The roof is slate with tiled cresting.
The main frontage to Abergele Road comprises a 3-window range with an advanced gable to the right and a narrow addition dating from around 1930 to the left. The central range features two canted oriel windows to the first floor, each with modillion cornices (the glazing has been renewed). The upper storey originally had 4-pane sash windows, since renewed but within their original openings. A steep dormer gable to the left contains a round-arched attic window and has bargeboards with a finial. The advanced right gable features a similar canted oriel window, paired 4-pane sash windows above, and a round-arched window at the gable apex. The small extension to the left has flat-headed mullioned windows.
The ground floor carries projecting shop fronts, largely from around 1930, with heavy detailing including modillion cornices, deep fascias with glass lettering, and slender brackets with corbel heads and a dragon finial to the right unit. Each shop has curved display windows with recessed entrances. The upper panes of these windows are leaded, some bearing stained glass pictures of ships, windmills and similar subjects. The shop front within the right-hand gable is of an earlier type, featuring arcaded segmentally arched windows and doorway with cast iron columns with capitals and brackets bearing foliate spandrels, supporting a glazed canopy.
The return elevation to Rhiw Bank Avenue has canted bay windows alternating with 4-pane sashes, and a central entrance beneath a gable.
