44 Bridge Street

44 Bridge Street is a three-storey building with a five-window red brick front, constructed in Flemish bond and colourwashed at No 46. It features a slate roof with a toothed brick eaves cornice and brick chimney stacks. There is a band over the ground floor, along with painted quoins and a plinth at No 46. The original windows at No 44 include 8 and 16-pane sash windows, with the central window featuring brick voussoirs. A white painted section may be hiding a plaque. The ground floor has a cambered coach entry in the center that leads to a rear yard. Nos 44 and 45 have later plain paired shop fronts with ramped fascias; there is a three-light window to the left, a ventilation band to the right, and doorways at both ends. The windows at No 46 are broader, and the doorway is slightly offset, accompanied by a modern hotel sign. The right gable end is slate hung. Inside the passage, the brick is whitewashed, and there is a boarded door with blocked openings. The rear of the building is half-timbered, showcasing thinly cut timbers and brick nogging, with a later short gabled cross range to the Elephant Hotel made of red brick in English garden wall bond. The windows are mainly horned 4-pane sashes, with two cross frame windows at No 44. There are also modern extensions.
