20 Brecon Road

Nos. 22-26 (even) Brecon Road Squared rock-faced sandstone with yellow brick and stucco dressings, natural slate roof. Double depth plan with entries on the left. Three storeys, external evidence suggests that No. 22 remains a single bay shop with house over, while Nos. 24 and 26 are now joined as one premises with a double fronted house over, but this is probably an alteration from the original. The three shopfronts are different, but very much in character. No. 22 has the door to the left and a 3-light display window with slim timber mullions, pilasters with bracketted and gabled caps, recessed house entry to right. No. 24 has a recessed central entry with flanking single light display windows, the pilaster caps are no longer gabled. No. 26 has an off-centre door with two lights on the left and one on the right, the gabled caps survive. Between these two shops is a recessed 4-panel house door. The first and second floors have brick quoins and a band between floors. Each house has a canted 2-storey bay with triple 2 over 2 pane sashes with colonettes between, the second floor ones are shorter and have arched heads. The bays have stucco decoration and brick quoins and the upper part projects above the eaves line. On the first floor, above the house doors are plain 2 over 2 pane sashes with brick dressings. Cogged brick eaves, plain roof with stacks on the rear wall only, so some have gone.

Belongs to a group of: Nos. 20-24 (even) Brecon Road
