Description
2 Upper Clwyd Street is a building that forms part of a group with 2A. It dates from the 20th century and features a three-window range of one-and-a-half storeys, with a short cross-wing facing St Peter's Square. The exterior is rendered, primarily over timber-framing, and is topped with a slate roof that includes a tall stone chimney at the junction of the main range and the cross-wing.
The central entrance consists of a 20th-century half-glazed panelled door, which leads to a flat above, and is sheltered by a flat moulded porch canopy supported on brackets. On either side of the entrance are late 20th-century shop fronts. The upper storey is adorned with wooden cross-windows that have top-hung lights, set beneath gabled half-dormers.
The shop front of No 2 features a half-glazed door beneath an overlight, with a plain-glazed window to its left, all situated under a modern fascia. To the right, the gable end of the cross-wing is rendered and has no openings. The front of the cross-wing, facing St Peter's Square, has one window, with the eaves rising to create two full storeys. It includes a central Venetian window on the upper storey, which is a small-pane sash with radial glazing. The full-width projecting shop front is rendered and has a flat roof, featuring a substantial cornice supported on brackets. The central half-glazed panelled door is flanked by two-light plate-glass windows with moulded wooden mullions. The northern gable end is adjacent to Barclays Bank. The interior has not been seen.
