1 Pryor Street

This building on Pryor Street is a narrow, three-storey block with a gable front, originally containing a single window. To the right is a two-storey section with two windows, incorporating a passage leading to a former smithy. The construction is primarily brick, with the ground floor rendered and the upper sections painted white, all under a slate roof. A tall brick stack rises from the rear of the narrow block, and another brick stack sits on the roof pitch to the right. The former shop front now has a late 20th-century half-glazed door within a rendered surround. A late 20th-century wooden window with small top-hung lights is located to the left, replacing an earlier modern shop window. To the right of centre, a second doorway leads to a house above, featuring a half-glazed panelled door within a wooden doorcase adorned with circular motifs on the pilasters. The first floor of the house has a large, four-light oriel window with large panes of glass. A smaller four-pane sash window with a segmental head is situated on the second floor. The return facade facing north has a large four-pane sash with a segmental head on the second floor. The left-hand return is rendered and abuts a garage on the ground floor. Five decorative motifs are present on the front of the building; these may be tie-plates, and include crosses flanking the oriel window, diamonds flanking the upper sash, and a circular motif at the gable apex. The section to the right is rendered to ground floor and features a late 20th-century top-hung wooden window on the left, and a wide opening leading to the through-passage, topped with a segmental brick relieving arch over double boarded doors. The upper storey of this range features two four-pane sashes, close to the eaves. The rear of the passage has double boarded doors and a metal casement window on the upper storey; this range forms the south end of a terrace extending down Pryor Street.

Behind the main building, parallel to it, is the former smithy, a one-and-a-half-story structure. It has a gable front and is rendered beneath an artificial slate roof. The openings were renewed in the mid to late 20th century with plain-glazed wooden casements. The front facing north has a boarded door with a small light to the right and a tall window to the left, both under segmental stone voussoir arches. A mid-to-late 20th-century oriel window is located above the gable. The west side features a two-light casement at the upper storey, and is adjoined by a single-storey block with a corrugated roof at right angles; this includes a boarded door in the angle to the left and a plain-glazed window. The interior of the smithy has been modernised and converted into living accommodation.
