Description
The Spinning Wheel is a small commercial building dating from the early 20th century. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring a two-window range constructed of red brick with slate roofs and brick end stacks. The front of the building is characterized by two steep gables adorned with painted timber bargeboards and triangular-headed sash windows that have nogged brick heads. On the first floor, there are two 4-pane sash windows with nogged cambered heads and a moulded brick cornice beneath the gables.
The ground floor showcases a large shopfront from around 1910, which is double-fronted and includes a deep-set door. Each side of the door features a large quadrant curved plate glass window, with a band of small-paned top-lights above and slim angle shafts that have Art Nouveau branched heads. The door itself is designed with bevelled glass panels in an Art Nouveau style. The outer piers of the shopfront are decorated with carved fruit ornamentation beneath large curved brackets that frame the fascia.
The brickwork of the building is typical of the patterned bricks produced by William Woodward at the Cardigan brickworks, which were in use from the 1870s.
