Description

Deckers Club is a three-storey building with an almost symmetrical main block that is positioned at a corner. It features a three-bay window arrangement and classical detailing. Flanking the main block are two-storey ranges that mirror the style, with three bays and two bays facing High Street and three, two, and two bays facing Canon Street. The building is topped with slate roofs that have tiled cresting.

The most striking feature is the steeply pitched French chateau style roof at the center, which is adorned with an ironwork crown and has an elaborate acanthus-derived panelled band at the base. Each three-bay section is highlighted by advanced pilaster strips that extend from the ground floor entablature. The ground floor is accentuated with full pilasters that display intricate detailing. A deep parapet crowns the main section, which was originally stone balustraded and featured a clock in a pediment form.

Moulded architraves embellish the second floor, while the first floor showcases scrolled and lion's head carved brackets that support a segmental cornice, leading to 'detached' pediments. The central first-floor window above the entrance is tripartite, featuring scrolled detailing beneath a pediment and a lettered panel above; this window appears to have once had a balcony. The ground floor has semi-circular headed openings and similarly arched recesses, each with fluted keystones above the labels. An impost band with studded ornament runs along the lower parts of the fluted and panelled pilasters that flank modern panelled central doors, which replaced the original doors that were set further back, as seen in the right-hand entrance, now partly blocked.

All windows have been replaced with modern top-hung casements. The ground floor entablature extends across the first three-window sections of the lower side ranges, which have similar windows but without pediments. There are round arched openings below, with three facing High Street and two facing Canon Street, the latter of which have been modified to create 'Deckers'. The two bays beyond this on Canon Street feature modern shop fronts, while the equivalent section on High Street has a door and window. The rear of the building has a lower hipped section with tall round arches reminiscent of a chapel.
