18 Berriew Street

18 & 19 Berriew Street, Welshpool

Probably c1830. Painted brick with slate roof and end wall stacks. Built as a pair of shops with accommodation, and symmetrically planned with a central round-arched passage entry. The original shop fronts each have 3 slender fluted columns carrying the moulded cornice and flanking the inner doorway and window, divided by a single slim mullion (likely to be late C19 or early C20 replacements of the original glazing). Greek key decoration to frieze over doors and windows. Upper windows are 12-pane sashes to first floor, 6-pane sashes to second storey, either side of the blind central windows over the passage. All these openings have flat arched gauged brick heads.

Listed as a pair of early C19 shop buildings, surviving intact with shop-fronts of exceptional quality.
