Description

17 Broad Street is a stone-built terrace of five two-storey shops, designed as a unified facade with projecting and gabled end bays. The frontages are alternately of coursed stone and rendered, with slate roofs, with the exception of No 18 which has an asbestos tiled roof. Brick chimney stacks are present.

No 15, occupied by Watkins and Co Solicitors, forms the left-hand projecting bay. The ground floor features a shop front with a double, panelled doorway and a plain rectangular fanlight offset to the right of a three-light window, divided by wide stone mullions and with a stone sill. Horned sash windows, without glazing bars, are set within a simple wide wooden surround composed of three pilasters on stone bases, topped with a deep bracketed cornice. The lower panes of the windows are frosted and painted with the business name. The first floor has three four-pane horned sash windows with stone sills and dressed stone lintels. Wooden barge-boards are also present.

No 16, occupied by W J Wallaby & Sons, has a rendered frontage and a ground floor shop front with fascia end brackets, a large window, and a recessed door.

No 17, occupied by P Phillips, has a ground floor shop front with a ramped fascia and a tiled stallriser. Two large windows return to a recessed central door, framed by two smaller splayed windows.
