Pip's Shop

Pip's Shop is a late Georgian building featuring a group of paired three-storey and basement frontages that are rendered and stuccoed. The surfaces are cement, scribed, and roughcast, with deep cill bands. The roofs are slate, and there are brick and cement render chimney stacks, with No 17 retaining a parapet. The windows include recessed six- and twelve-pane sash windows at No 16 and a twelve-pane window on the first floor of No 17. The shop fronts of Nos 16 and 17 are preserved, complete with blind boxes, moulded cornices, an ironwork ventilation band, and fluted and foliated mullions on the shop windows of No 17. Both pairs of buildings have advanced ground floor openings that are divided, featuring cornices and keystones above semicircular headed arches that lead to narrow cross passages.
