Cadw's description
Location
Set into a row of frontages at the E end of the street.
History
Built in the period 1810-34 and first shown on the 1834 town map. It was altered in the late C19 to the present polygonal plan, which is first shown on the 1888 Ordnance Survey. It was a grocer's shop in 1895.
Exterior
A 2-storey shop with dwelling above, with polygonal block at the R end, of whitened rendered walls but retaining traces of former scribed roughcast, and slate roof with reduced stack at the L end. A boarded door offset to the R side of the lower range is flanked by inserted large shop windows. In the upper storey is a 2-pane sash to the L. The R-hand polygonal portion is higher, under a pyramidal roof, and has a 4-pane sash window to the upper storey. The rear has replaced windows.
Reason for designation
Listed for its C19 character and for its contribution to a group of well-preserved but humbler C19 urban buildings at the SE end of Pool Street.
