Description
County Juniors, formerly known as the Miners Arms, is a two-storey building with an attic and a three-window front made of scribed roughcast, topped with a slate roof and modern dormers. The first floor features splayed sash glazed oriel windows at either end, while the ground floor has separate shop fronts. The most notable feature of this building is the exceptional Art Nouveau shop front at No 39. This shop front has an ornate fascia that ends over pilasters, with gold lettering on the fascia and plinth band that reads "D Evans, Goldsmith, Silversmith, Watchmaker, Jeweller." The shop window is adorned with colonnettes and foliage spandrels, curving into a central entrance that includes a tessellated doormat and a half-glazed door with inscribed frosted glass.
Inside the jeweller's shop, original fittings are preserved, reportedly made by Pollards of London, which include all-round glazed cabinets and frosted glass panels. At the rear, there is a 17th-century staircase featuring turned balusters and a plain handrail.
