| Grade II listed building,
listed on 16th November, 1976. An early to mid 19th
century brick and partly painted shop and house with a
slate roof. The shop front dates from around 1900 and
above is a sash window with glazing bars. The right hand
return wall has three bays. The two on the right-hand
side are unpainted and canted back. The ground floor
windows have lintels with horizontal reeding, paterae,
and bracketed cornices, and the middle window has
external timber shutters. The first floor sash windows
have glazing bars. The door in the right hand bay has
six panels and the doorcase has a reeded surround.
It is believed to have been a private house until the
1880s. By 1888 it was a grocer's shop occupied by James
Harris and later a tobacconist's shop run by Richard
Billingsley. The tobacconist's was run by the
Billingsley family for over 70 years and then became
Winestores Limited, a wine shop which remained there
until a few years ago. |
