1-3 Queen Street

1-3 Queen Street is a half-timbered building with a red plain tiled roof, dating from the 19th century. It is a three-storey polygonal corner structure with outer gables facing Hope Street and Queen Street, and a lower two-storey gabled range along Queen Street. The shop fronts have been renewed, but a terracotta panel above the doorway to the Talbot and several terracotta console brackets from the original fascias remain.

The first floor features wood mullioned and transomed oriel windows with leading and stained glass in the upper lights, along with a three-tier window providing light to the stairs on the Queen Street elevation. The upper storey juts out, showcasing three-light casement windows that have been renewed in their original openings beneath the three gables of the central polygonal range. There are longer bands of windows beneath the outer gables, and the gables are adorned with heavy bargeboards and finials.

The polygonal roof includes small dormer windows with leaded hoods on each face, culminating in a leaded cap with a finial. The end wall stacks are made of enriched brickwork, designed by Douglas and Fordham for production by J. C. Edwards of Ruabon. The Queen Street side features a four-gabled range, with an oriel window beneath each gable and overhanging tiled roofs topped with finials.
