Description
Nos. 1-6 Priory Street are a group of three-storey, double-depth houses with stucco fronts that are painted and feature Welsh slate roofs, which are hidden from view by parapets. The terrace has a convex shape and includes some houses that originally had shops on the ground floor. In total, there are nineteen windows arranged in the pattern of 5:3:3:3:5 on the first floor. The ground floor features four shopfronts, numbered 1 to 4 consecutively, along with an arched entrance to White Swan Court and tripartite 6 over 6 pane sashes for Nos. 5 and 6.
The shopfronts are framed with fluted strip pilasters, while No. 3 and the entrance to White Swan Court have plain Doric pilasters. Nos. 5 and 6 feature single pilasters at either end and three paired pilasters framing the tripartite windows. The entrance to White Swan Court boasts a fine pair of original double panelled doors. The doors are six-panel with arched heads, impost blocks, and radiating fanlights. A continuous cornice runs along the ground floor, which also serves as a cill band for the first-floor windows. These first-floor windows are large 6 over 9 pane sashes, with blind boxes on those of No. 4.
No. 3 and the entrance to White Swan Court are distinguished by giant pilasters extending through the first and second floors, topped with Composite capitals. There is a cill band for the second-floor windows, which are all 3 over 3 pane sashes. A cornice band and parapet band are present, with No. 4 featuring an additional attic floor that has a pediment and a Diocletian lunette window. The other houses each have one small flat-topped dormer visible behind the parapet. The rear elevations of Nos. 1-3 are not visible, and White Swan Court is adjacent to No. 4. The entry to White Swan Court is flat-topped and framed by plain pilasters, with the first floor featuring a 4-light window that is four panes high in an arched recess, along with a tripartite sash above it. Nos. 5 and 6 have various plain sashes as previously described. The interior has not been seen during the resurvey.
