Cadw's description
Location
In the block of buildings between the corner with Broad Street and the entrance to the carpark opposite the cinema.
Exterior
Probably c1830. Painted brick with slate roof and end wall stacks. Built as a pair of shops with accommodation, and symmetrically planned with a central round-arched passage entry. The original shop fronts each have 3 slender fluted columns carrying the moulded cornice and flanking the inner doorway and window, divided by a single slim mullion (likely to be late C19 or early C20 replacements of the original glazing). Greek key decoration to frieze over doors and windows. Upper windows are 12-pane sashes to first floor, 6-pane sashes to second storey, either side of the blind central windows over the passage. All these openings have flat arched gauged brick heads.
Listed as a pair of early C19 shop buildings, surviving intact with shop-fronts of exceptional quality.
