Description
T.J. Morgan is a two-storey building featuring a roof with overhanging eaves and exposed rafters. The first floor, situated above the shops, is constructed of yellow and red pressed brick and has three asymmetrically placed windows, with the end windows being triple sashes. These windows are adorned with heavy lintels and sills.
On the ground floor, there are two shops faced with green and white ceramic tiles. The larger shop on the right, currently a fruiterer's, has a double front with entrance doors that are part glazed and fitted with lozenged grills, along with an opening fanlight above. It features two broad sash windows with large panes of plate glass and ventilation grills above, each equipped with a pair of wood and brass handles. The shop front is decorated with green and white ceramic tiles arranged in stripes, and marble slabs project from the display area beneath the sashes. Below the windows, there is a recessed panel inscribed with "Hamer and Sons Family Butcher." The narrower shop on the left was unoccupied at the time of inspection and has a panelled and glazed door with an opening fanlight above, along with a sash window to its right that includes a ventilation grill above. A fascia board above the shops is supported by consoles with gabled fascia ends.
Inside the fruiterer's shop, the original character is preserved, featuring chequerboard green and white tiles up to a green glazed ceramic dado rail, with white tiles above. There are white marble window slabs and hangers for meat, and a door leading to a rear room that was the front door to a former confectioner's.
