J H Jones, Butchers

J H Jones, Butchers, located at 90 and 92 Vale Street, is a brick building with a slate roof and tiled ridge, constructed in an asymmetrical design. The facade features glazed facing brick, dentilated eaves, and a stringcourse beneath a broad limestone sill band at the first floor. The structure consists of two sections: the butcher's shop on the left and a house on the right, both flanking a large Tudor arch that provides access to the stables and slaughterhouse at the rear through a passageway.

Each section has half-timbered gabled dormers on the upper floor. The butcher's shop includes a canted first-floor bay window on the right, topped with a similar gable, and both sections display simply-moulded bargeboards. The bay window rests on the slated roof of a shallow projecting shop front, which features a canted corner on the left, a central panelled door with a Tudor-arched wooden head and glazed upper lights, and plain-glazed wooden cross-windows. To the far left, there is a narrower through-passage with a Tudor arch and a boarded three-quarter door, along with a small window above. A modern door to the house is set into a canted angle to the right of the arch.

The rear of the building is whitened, with gables on both sections; the house is brick, while the shop is constructed of rubble, indicating an earlier building. There is a cambered entrance with a boarded door on the gable end of the shop, and 20th-century glazing in the ground and first-floor windows to the right, along with a further modern-glazed window above the arch. The house section features a smaller gabled projection set back slightly to the left, complete with an end chimney and a plain cambered sash window. A Ty Bach block with accompanying walls connects this to a contemporary single-storey stable block, which is also of brick construction (whitened with a black dado) and has a lean-to slate roof. This stable block includes two cambered stable doors and cambered windows to the right, with plain 20th-century glazing.

The interior was not inspected during the survey.
