ORMSKIRK MOOR STREET (North side) Nos.29, 29A, 31, 31A

II

Pair of shops with dwellings over. Early C18; altered. Handmade red brick in English garden wall bond (except facades, which are of C19 common brick in Flemish bond, that to No.31 now mostly rendered); slate roofs. U-plan astride a common wagon entry, with coupled main ranges at right-angles to the street, and back extensions. Two-and-a-half storeys, 2+1 windows at 1st floor. The ground floor has C20 shop fronts to either side, and a basket-arched wagon entry in the centre, with a gauged brick head, rectangular recesses in the side walls for former double doors, a ceiling supported by 4 beams (the first with keeled ovolo moulding and the others with stopped chamfer) and a cobbled and stone-flagged cart track leading through. No.29 has two 12-pane top-hung casements at 1st floor (one over the entry), and another at 2nd floor, all with raised sills and wedge lintels. No.31 has render painted to resemble half-timbering, and one altered window on each floor. Rear: short gabled back extensions, variously altered, that to No.29 with an extruded chimney stack which has offsets on one side; and C20 extensions beyond these. INTERIOR: No.29 has chamfered ceiling beams at ground floor, and between 1st and 2nd floors a dog-legged early C18 staircase with closed string, turned balusters, square newels and moulded handrail; and both have roughly-hewn purlin roofs. HISTORY: probably the only surviving example of its type in this small market town.
