Description
6 High Street is a group of three-storey buildings with one-window fronts. All except Shoepermarket are arranged in reflected pairs, although the vertical division between Nos 8 and 9 indicates that the right-hand two may be later additions. The buildings feature a slate roof with wide boarded eaves, red brick chimney stacks, and some slate hung and modern cement rendered sections. Nos 5 and 6 have cement rendered fronts, while Nos 7 to 10 are constructed of red brick. The small pane sash windows on Nos 5 to 9 include 9-pane windows on the second floor and 12-pane windows below, with nearly flush frames. No 10 has modern windows. There are cambered cellar openings for Nos 7 to 10.
Shoepermarket has a modern shop front with a three-light window and a broadly projecting boarded and ramped fascia. The other buildings have paired doorcases, except for No 10, featuring fluted pilasters and bracket cornices. No 6 has a modern door, while Nos 7 and 8 have six-panel doors, No 9 has a four-panel door, and No 10 has a half-glazed door.
The side elevation facing Cemetery Lane is long and cement rendered, with wide eaves and sash windows, mostly 9 and 12-pane, and seven windows on the first floor. The shop front extends along just over half the length of the building and includes modern doors, one of which is under a bracketed hood. The rear features a brick gable end of a cross range and a brick main rear elevation with mostly modern windows and cambered voussoirs overlooking a rear yard, which is closed on the east side by a low two-storey slate roofed range of likely industrial origin, now part of the Cambrian works. This area retains two multipane metal frame casement windows and cambered voussoirs on the ground floor. At the southern end, there is a similar range that is partly weatherboarded and adjoins the rear of the shallower No 13.
