Description

Francis is a three-storey building with an attic, rising to four storeys at No 22. The front has eight windows, with No 19 rendered and Nos 20-22 roughcast. The slate roof is level but features an undulating ridge, with exposed eaves and a tall central brick stack on the front pitch, along with two end stacks. Nos 19 and 21 have modern two-storey attics with flat-roofed dormers, while Nos 19 and 22 have two-storey extensions to the street, and Nos 20 and 21 have single-storey extensions.

At No 19, there are casement windows on the second floor and 4-pane sash windows on the first floor, all with moulded architraves. The 19th-century double shop front below includes a bracketed hood, a glazed and panelled door, and a brick base. No 20 features casement windows on the second floor and 4-pane sashes on the first floor, all with moulded architraves, along with a modern shop front with a lean-to roof.

No 21 has one offset casement window on the second floor and paired casements on the first floor. It features an 18th or early 19th-century shop front under a lean-to roof, which includes a 10-pane window and a recessed panelled and glazed door with a fanlight. To the left, there is a deep porch shared by Nos 21 and 22, elevated above the street with timber handrails leading up seven steps. The door to No 21 is boarded and glazed, while No 22 has a modern door. The interior of No 21 retains its basic roof construction, featuring tie and collar beams with three tiers of mainly original timber purlins.

No 22 has a half-hipped end tiled roof, with two casement windows on the fourth floor and 4-pane sashes in moulded architraves on the third floor. The second floor has 4 and 6-pane sashes, and the ground floor features a single-paned shop front with a recessed timber and glazed door. The rear elevation has been much altered, with a low cross gable to the left and modern box dormers, one of which is recessed towards the right end. A brick stack is located at the centre of the roof pitch.
