8 Drybridge Street

Nos. 6 and 8 Drybridge Street are two-storey and attic houses, likely dating from the 18th century, with rendered and painted exteriors, probably over timber framing, and interlocking concrete tile roofs. The houses have a single depth layout, with No. 6 featuring an additional wing and No. 8 having a lean-to outshut.

The ground floor has three windows and two doors arranged in the pattern: window, door, window, door, window. No. 6 has a canted bay on the left, followed by a part-glazed door with three panes, above which is a small-paned casement in a half dormer. No. 8 has a more symmetrical front with a central late 20th-century Victorian-style door that has two glazed panels and a voussoir head with a keystone. This door is flanked by three-light Victorian-style casements, also with voussoir heads and keystones. The first floor features similar two-light casements on either side of a blank panel that once displayed the name of a public house, topped by an added gable with two more two-light casements. The steeply pitched wavy roof has a stack on each ridge, while the right return is blind. The rear elevation has been modernised.

No. 8 originally consisted of two bays of what was once a three-unit house aligned with the street. The original structure is most evident in the attic room, where the front gable is clearly seen as an addition. Inside, some timber framing is visible, including queen strut roof trusses, principal rafters, and purlins. However, any surviving features on the ground floor are obscured by later alterations, and the staircase has been replaced.
