Description

7 Church Street is a three-storey building with four bays, the right-hand bay being narrower, constructed on a steel frame. The middle and upper storeys, numbered 4 to 8, are faced with stone. The roof is hidden behind a parapet featuring a moulded cornice. The upper storeys are divided by giant order pilasters with Greek key capitals, while the middle storey windows are flanked by pilasters with fluted capitals. Between the middle and upper storeys are panelled aprons, with the central panel in each bay highlighted by a roundel. Each bay contains three windows with margin-lit metal-frame glazing, although some have had their glazing bars removed. The windows on the middle storey are taller than those below. Above the lower storey, there is a deep stone cornice, which is partly obscured by modern fascia.

The lower storey, comprising Nos 7, 8, 9, and 10, features polished end pilasters and central square piers, behind which is a broad passage (with an added gate) leading to the deeply recessed entrance for the offices above. This passage has a panelled ceiling and a mosaic floor.

No 7, known as The Hair Center, has a modern shop front. Nos 8, 9, and 10, which include Davies & Son at No 8, retain their original glazing, including cross-pattern clerestorey bands beneath the fascias. The shop at No 10 has double glazed doors with diagonal brass handles and a recessed mosaic floor. The shops on either side of the centre (Nos 8 and 9) have splayed corners leading into the passage, with Davies & Son at No 8 featuring its doorway in the splay, which has a half-glazed door with margin lights and a diagonal brass handle. The shop at No 9 also has its own recessed doorway with similar detailing.

Some original windows remain on the simpler stepped rear of the building.
