Description

15 Broad Street is a stone-built terrace of five two-storey shops designed with a cohesive facade featuring advanced and gabled end bays. The frontages alternate between coursed stone and rendered surfaces, topped with slate roofs, except for No 18, which has a brick chimney stack.

No 15, occupied by Watkins and Co Solicitors, is the left-hand advanced bay. Its ground floor has a shop front with a double, panelled doorway and a plain rectangular fanlight positioned to the right of a three-light window, which is divided by wide stone mullions and features a stone sill. The horned sashes lack glazing bars, with the lower panes frosted and painted with the business name. The door and windows are framed by a simple wide wooden surround made up of three pilasters on stone bases, topped with a deep bracketed cornice. The first floor includes three four-pane horned sash windows, each with stone sills and dressed stone lintels, and wooden barge-boards.

No 16, home to W J Wallaby & Sons, has a rendered frontage. Its ground floor features a shop front with fascia end brackets, one large window, and a recessed door, which is flanked by a splayed window on one side and a curved window on the other. Below the windows is a tiled area. The first floor has a horned sash window, and the roof is covered with asbestos tiles.

No 17, occupied by P Phillips, has a ground floor shop front with a ramped fascia and a tiled stallriser. It features two large windows that return to a recessed central door, which is accessed via two smaller splayed windows. The first floor has a single square-headed sash window with an ashlar effect tooled on the lintel.

No 18, known as Hollywood, has a rendered facade and an asymmetrical ground floor shop front with a large window on one side and a smaller window splayed back to meet a recessed door. It also has a tiled stallriser, and the first floor features a sash window.

No 19, which houses Robinsons Drug Store, forms the right-hand advanced bay. Its ground floor has a symmetrical shop front with a deep fascia and two large windows adorned with decorative glazing bars at the top. The doorway is created by two splayed windows leading to a recessed door, and there is a tiled stallriser. The first floor has two sash windows.
