33 Broad Street

33 Broad Street is a building that likely underwent significant remodelling in the late 18th century, although it retains elements from an earlier structure. The façade suggests that the remodelling occurred no later than around 1800. The brickwork in the gable end and rear wing, along with the stacks, indicates an earlier 18th-century date. The rear range facing New Street was constructed around 1830, originally intended as a row of three houses, with the one nearest to the front serving as the rear wing of the main building. Until around 1975, Nos 32 and 33 operated as separate premises, but they are now combined and used as a shop.

The exterior of Nos 32-33 features brick construction with a slate roof, standing three storeys tall and comprising a two-window range. The ground floor was updated in 1995, while the upper floors maintain early details, including two wide 16-pane hornless sash windows with flat arched heads on each floor and a moulded eaves cornice. Axial stacks are positioned at the rear corners of the building. The short rear wing has similar window styles, although the lower windows are 19th-century insertions, and the upper window is located beneath a wide dormer gable. The terrace on New Street is also constructed of brick with a slate roof and features end wall stacks. It consists of a five-window range, with three distinctive tall doorcases that have incised decoration, plain panelled doors with overlights, and 12-pane sash windows with flat arched gauged brick heads on each floor.

Overall, Nos 32-33 are recognized as a largely late 18th-century building with earlier origins, preserving much of its original character despite the ground floor remodelling. The rear range, including Nos 1-2 New Street, exemplifies early 19th-century urban development. Together, these buildings significantly enhance the townscape in a prominent central location.
