Description
7 and 8 St Mary Street are a pair of Georgian houses that have been converted into two shops with accommodation above. They are attached to each other and feature walls that are rendered with scored stucco. The buildings have a slate roof with moulded eaves cornice and a tall narrow brick chimney stack. They stand three storeys high and have a two-window range of sash windows: No. 7 on the right has 4-pane windows, while No. 8 on the left has 4/8-pane windows on the top floor and 8/8-pane windows on the first floor.
The shop front for No. 7 includes a bow window with a moulded surround, plate glass, and side bracketed pilasters, along with a recessed doorway to the right that features a divided overlight. No. 8 has an early 20th-century shop front with a deep bracketed fascia and cornice, as well as coloured tiles in the doorway reveal. The plinth incorporates a ventilation grille and pilaster, and there is a metal-covered three-quarter round mullion and sill. The upper lights have decorative leaded glazing, and there is a recessed doorway to the left with a decorative part-glazed door and a rectangular overlight.
