Description
19 Broad Street is a stone-built terrace of five two-storey shops, designed to create a unified facade with advanced and gabled end bays. The frontages alternate between coursed stone and rendered finishes, topped with slate roofs, except for No 18, which features a brick chimney stack.
No 15, occupied by Watkins and Co Solicitors, is the left-hand advanced bay. Its ground floor shop front includes a double, panelled doorway with a plain rectangular fanlight offset to the right of a three-light window, which is divided by wide stone mullions and has 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 features three four-pane horned sash windows with stone sills and dressed stone lintels, along with wooden barge-boards.
No 16, home to W J Wallaby & Sons, has a rendered frontage. Its ground floor shop front includes fascia end brackets, one large window, and a recessed door formed by a splayed window on one side and a curved window on the other. There is a tiled area below the windows, and the first floor has a horned sash window. The roof is covered with asbestos tiles.
No 17, occupied by P Phillips, features a ground floor shop front with a ramped fascia and tiled stallriser. It has two large windows that return to a recessed central door, flanked by two smaller splayed windows. The first floor has a single square-headed sash window with an ashlar effect tooled lintel.
No 18, known as Hollywood, has a rendered facade. Its asymmetrical ground floor shop front includes a large window on one side and a smaller window splayed back to meet a recessed door, along with a tiled stallriser. The first floor contains a sash window.
No 19, the right-hand advanced bay occupied by Robinsons Drug Store, features a symmetrical ground floor shop front with a deep fascia and two large windows adorned with decorative glazing bars at the top. The doorway is formed by two splayed windows leading to a recessed door, and there is a tiled stallriser. The first floor has two sash windows.
