Description
44 Commercial Street is a three-storey terrace building with a cellar, dating from the 19th century. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick and features a gently pitched slate roof that has a hip facing Chapel Street. The building has a saw-toothed eaves cornice and brick stacks.
On the second floor, there are eight-pane hopper windows, while the first floor has 16-pane sash windows, and the ground floor of No 44 features a plain reveal with stone sills and gauged brick voussoirs. No 45 has modern windows. The original doorcases are present at Nos 44, 45, and No 8 Chapel Street, with No 44 having a six-panel door.
The butcher's shopfront from the 19th century includes a four-pane sash window on the right and a plate glass window on the left, with a recessed centre doorway that has a half-glazed door. There are brackets supporting the cornice with a name-board above. A round-arched tunnel passage is located at the extreme right.
The elevation facing Chapel Street has been significantly altered due to the addition of modern windows.
