Description

Narrows Pottery Shop is a three-storey building with an attic, rising to four storeys at No 22. It features an eight-window front, with No 19 rendered and Nos 20-22 roughcast. The slate roof is uniform but has 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, the second floor has casement windows, while the first floor features four-pane sash windows 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 has casement windows on the second floor and four-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, which consists of 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 four-pane sashes in moulded architraves on the third floor. The second floor features four and six-pane sashes, and the ground floor has a single-paned shop front with a recessed timber and glazed door. The rear elevation has been significantly altered, featuring a low cross gable to the left and modern box dormers, with one recessed towards the right end. There is a brick stack at the centre of the roof pitch.
