Description
1 Alban Square is a simple classical building dating from the 19th century, featuring two stories and a three-window facade that is colourwashed, rendered, and roughcast. The structure has rusticated quoins and advanced hipped roof end pavilions topped with slate roofs. It includes ridge dressing to No 4, wide boarded eaves, and eight rendered chimney stacks alongside one rubble chimney stack. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are found throughout, except for Nos 3 to 5 on the first floors, where some windows have lugged architraves and ornamental keystones.
No 1 features a full-width shop front supported by faceted pilasters, with a segmental arched window recess and a bay shop front flanking the entrance to No 2. Nos 3 and 4 also have bay shop fronts, while Nos 5, 6, and 7 have segmental arched window recesses, although the recess of No 7 is partially concealed. No 8 has a modern shop front. The entrances are recessed, with half-glazed and panelled doors.
The left end wall of No 1 is plain roughcast and includes a cross range at the rear, while the right end wall of No 8 is finished in plain scribed render and features a hipped roof extension.
