On the N side of Castle Square facing Victoria Place.
History
Earlier C18 house and shop. An old photograph of c. 1900 shows a small brick left end chimney, small-paned sashes without the present surrounds, and house door and shopfront in the present positions. There was a moulded eaves cornice at slightly higher level and different to that on No 3. A photograph of 1911 shows same shopfront, then Lewis, Practical Tailor. It was at one time Cragg's antique shop.
Exterior
Semi-detached commercial premises, painted roughcast and stucco with slate roof and plain C20 eaves board. Three storeys, three-window range, no chimneys. Modern plate glass sash windows to upper floors in plain raised stuccoed eared surrounds. Modern shop front of poor design, former house door to left now shop window also.
Interior
Interior altered on ground floor. Staircase parallel to front wall, in three flights with two long landings. Bulbous turned newel at floor, continuous rail, square balusters. Attic has three heavy collar trusses, possibly early C18.
