10 Middle Street

This is a former shop and warehouse, likely dating from the 19th century. The building is constructed of stone, which has been rendered and painted, and has a machine-tiled roof. It is two storeys high with an attic. The Middle Street frontage has a two-window arrangement, though the windows do not match. The ground floor is currently boarded up. There are 20th-century windows to the first floor, and a late 19th-century shopfront on the right side, featuring a bracketed cornice. A central doorway is topped with a hood. The gable end facing downhill has a small-pane casement window in the attic and two ground-floor doorways; the doorway on the left has an iron-bracketed hood and a four-panelled door.

The interior is derelict. A wooden spiral staircase rises from the rear wall, on Hocker Hill Street, up through three storeys. Floors in two separate units, at different levels, contain closely-spaced joists, suggesting they were used for storage. The building also has chamfered beams, an A-frame roof with two rows of purlins, a fireplace with a block lintel, and group value as an example of a commercial building.
