Description
3 and 4 Church Street was originally the stable range of the Royal Oak Hotel, built around 1860 and facing the hotel. It was converted into shops around 1930, now housing three shops instead of the originally intended six.
The original construction is still visible on the north gable end and at the rear, featuring red brick with blue brick dressings and a slate roof. The Church Street frontage is rendered. The building is single-storey and consists of ten regular bays, which are defined by pilasters with rosettes on the capitals that support a plain cornice band. The three entrance bays are enhanced by rosette decoration in the moulded panel above the doorways. The flanking windows are set in arcaded bays, featuring blind painted fanlights that radiate from low relief acanthus decoration and stressed keys. The original design, which included splayed side doorways recessed in the principal entrances, is still evident in Nos 4 and 5-6.
This building is a well-detailed early 20th-century commercial development that maintains a strong rhythm in its original design and is part of a group with the Royal Oak Hotel and other buildings on Church Street.
