30 High Street Superior

The building at 30 High Street comprises a late 17th-century structure, significantly altered in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The High Street frontage is three storeys and five bays wide, with a pebbledashed exterior. It features a slate roof with a single box dormer and deeply projecting eaves with a panelled soffit, along with a decorative band at second-floor level. The windows are small-pane sashes with moulded wood architraves. The second-floor windows have cornices and bracketed sills; the central window is blocked, while the others have six panes. First-floor windows have architraves and cornices with fifteen panes each. The ground floor contains late 19th- to early 20th-century public house and shop fronts. The front to No. 29 has windows in the centre, doorways at each end, all articulated by pilasters, topped by a bracketed cornice. No. 30 has a large, canted display window with doorways at each end, pilasters on the ends, a fascia board and a cornice. A further bay extends at the north end, featuring a camber-headed archway leading to Bell Lane. This section is pebbledashed, with a modillion eaves cornice to the first-floor wall and a slate roof above.

A rear wing, part of No. 30, presents a wide, symmetrical elevation facing west towards Bell Lane and is in a semi-derelict condition. It has two storeys and an attic. The first floor has three windows. Attached to the lower part of the west elevation is a small, two-storey stone building with a slate gabled roof and overhanging eaves, likely dating from the early to mid 18th century. It has two windows on the first floor and a doorcase with pilasters (the cornice and brackets of which are now lost) on the ground floor.

The interior of No. 30 is largely derelict, but the late 18th-century modillion cornice of the Grand Room remains visible from the exterior, along with a suggested dado. Partitions seem to have been removed, but it is believed a late 17th-century wooden staircase with twisted balusters may survive in the rear part of the building.
