SS4526 MARKET PLACE 842-1/6/159 (South side) Nos.1, 2 AND 2A
GV II
Pair of terraces houses and shops combined into one. Now occupies and island site bounded by Buttgarden Street on the east and Honestone Street on the south; the remainder of this side of Market Place has been demolished. Early or mid C19. Solid rendered walls. Hipped slate roof. 3 storeys with basement and garret. Fronts of 2-window range to No 1 and 1 window at No 2. No 1 has shop front (probably late C19 with C20 alterations) containing 2 display windows; between them and at left-hand end a panelled pilaster supporting an entablature. No 2 has a single display window of similar type. There may be an entablature, concealed by a late C20 fascia; console survives at right-hand end. Upper-storey windows have moulded architraves. Those in second storey of No 1 are French windows with glazing-bars and margin-panes; No 2 has 6-paned sashes in this position. All third-storey windows have 2-paned sashes. Openings in rear wall (fronting Honestone Street) have plain raised surrounds, all but a round-arched stair window at No 1 having slightly pointed-headed lintels which project at either end; stair window is tall with glazing-bars: 39 oblong panes with radial bars at the top; beneath it a doorway with panelled reveals, the left side with later boarding at the bottom. 2 windows in second storey have 6-paned sashes; 1 in ground storey probably has the same, although lower sash boarded over. Openings in left side-wall match those at the rear. Pilaster-strip at right-hand end. No openings in right side-wall. INTERIOR not inspected, but No 1 appears to retain the original staircase with thin square balusters and continuous handrail.
