Description
This is a formal late Georgian terrace of three buildings located at 2A, 4, and 6 Commercial Street. Originally built as shops with living space above, the buildings are now used for commercial purposes. The facades are rendered and painted, likely over a brick core, and topped with Welsh slate roofs, some of which have been replaced with artificial slates.
The terrace has a 1:6:1 bay arrangement, with the single bays slightly projecting. The left-hand single bay has been altered with the insertion of a Tudor-style entrance to Pontypool Market, featuring a limestone rubble archway with yellow Ebbw Vale brick dressings, dated 1894. The rest of the ground floor contains two central triple-bay shops and a single bay shop, all with late 20th-century shopfronts and fascias.
A cill band runs along the first floor, which features an arcade of semi-circular arched recesses, each containing a six-over-six sash window. An impost band defines the end bays with double thickness piers. Another cill band is present on the second floor, with three-over-three sash windows set in plain openings. The building has a simple frieze and eaves, and a plain roofline.
The interior was not inspected during a resurvey in October 1996.
