9 Main Street

9 Main Street is a three-storey building dating from the 19th century, featuring painted roughcast walls and a slate close-eaved roof with end stacks. There is a small red brick stack on the left and a rendered stack raised in brick on the right. The facade has a four-window range, with hornless 12-pane sash windows on the upper floors and painted slate sills.

The ground floor has a house door on the left that is not aligned with the windows above. This door is a three-panel design, with one fielded panel and two sunk panels, topped by a deep rectangular overlight. The main feature of the facade is an attractive double-fronted 19th-century shop front that occupies most of the space. It is made of painted timber with a deep fascia that curves at the ends, although the original cornice is missing.

The shop front includes three windows: one flat window on the left and two projecting windows with curved angles at the base, which have curved glass side-panes and thin column shafts. There is a thin horizontal bar at two-thirds height. The outer attached Roman Doric columns flank a recessed doorway situated between the two projecting windows, which features double panelled doors and a recessed 20th-century glazed door with an overlight. The door has a gold lettered inscription reading "Hird Chemist Establ. 1825", which is overpainted with "The Castle Pharmacy". The left shop window is made of plate glass and has narrow glazed opening notice-board panels to the right.

At the rear, there is a three-storey range with a broad gable to the south and 20th-century uPVC windows. There is also an attached long single-storey rear range from the late 20th century, which features a large hipped glazed roof lantern. The interior of the ground floor has been completely altered for use as a shop, and the upper floors are not accessible but are said to have been wholly altered in their conversion to flats.
