Description
36 Blue Street is a terraced house and shop that dates back to the 19th century. It stands three storeys high and has three bays, featuring a low-pitched slate roof and a short brick stack at the right end. The front is made of red brick, which has a straight joint with No 11 Guildhall Square to the left. There is a low stone plinth that merges into the brickwork. The windows have cambered brick heads and slate sills, with square 6-pane sash windows on the second floor, 12-pane sash windows on the first floor, and on the ground floor right side, as noted in 1981. The central doorway is accompanied by a 20th-century shop window to the left, which is set in a 20th-century casing of pilasters and fascia, all of which were inserted after 1981. The right end wall is rendered.
To the right, there is a low attached outbuilding made of painted stone and brick, which is two storeys high and wedge-shaped with a slate roof. It has a lean-to against the adjoining property, with a ridge-line that slopes and is hipped to the right. The former door to the left has been converted into a shop window with timber casing, and there is a 12-pane sash window above and slightly to the right. Additionally, there is a small square window with iron bars located at the centre of the ground floor. In the centre right, there is a blocked mid-height opening above a blocked doorway, and the ground floor right corner is rounded. The narrow rendered right end features a ventilator slit at the first floor.
At the time of the resurvey, the ground and first floors were being used as a coffee shop, with an exposed fireplace at the left end of each floor. The earlier 19th-century staircase, which has square balusters and a turned newel, was noted to survive only from the first floor upwards. The six-panelled doors have been removed.
