Description
53 Commercial Street is a three-storey building with a cellar, featuring four windows. It is constructed of brick in Flemish bond and has a gently pitched slate roof, which is original to No 53. The building has a saw-toothed eaves cornice and a brick chimney stack. The upper floors have two-light casement windows that retain iron tie bars for lead cames, specifically in the weaving loft. No 53 also retains lead cames in the cross windows on the first floor. The ground floor has a later 19th-century two-light shop window, while No 52 has modern windows. The original doorcases are adorned with simple leaded dripboards supported by brackets, and No 53 features an original six-panel door. There was a tunnel passage that formerly provided access to Pump Court. Additionally, No 53 retains casements at the rear with cambered header arches.
