Cadw's description
Location
Set into a row of frontages opposite the junction with Pool Lane.
History
Early C19 and perhaps built by 1810, at which time this side of Pool Street had already been developed. It was a baker's shop in 1895.
Exterior
A small 2-storey shop and dwelling with roughcast front and slate roof. A simple C19 shop front has pilasters framing the door and window, beneath a plain fascia with deep moulded cornice. The doorway to the R has a half-lit panelled door with overlight. The shop window is a wide 4-pane horned sash over a stallboard refaced in rubble stone. The upper storey has a 2-pane horned sash window to the L.
Reason for designation
Listed as a rare surviving small early C19 shop retaining early character and for its contribution to the historic townscape.
