The Hay Galleries

The Hay Galleries is a three-storey building dating from the 19th century, featuring a two-window front made of coursed rubble with a full-width shop front and a plinth. There is a band course above the first-floor voussoirs. The building has a tall hipped slate roof with wide bracket eaves, which extends to the left around the west elevation, along with the band course. It includes skylights and a rubble chimney stack topped with brick. The second floor has 12-pane sash windows, while the first floor features sash windows with marginal glazing bars, voussoir lintels, and keystones. The shop front is a fine Victorian design, complete with foliage carved fascia ends, a bracket cornice, and pilasters at the ends, flanking a central entrance. The shop windows have arched headed lights with colonnettes and spandrel foliage trails, and there are half-glazed doors.

On the left side, the 12-pane sash windows are largely obscured by the addition of the two-storey No 5. At the rear, there is a small courtyard where the property adjoins No 2 Lion Street. The interior retains stone flagged cellars with some chamfered beams, and the open ground floor features cast-iron cylindrical columns.
