Yellow stock brick, laid to Flemish bond, below hipped Welsh slated roof. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys. 2 bay facades to Salisbury Square, and Bull Plain, with chamfered corners. First floor to Salisbury Square has single recessed 12-pane sash window left centre, and single triple sash, 4:12:4 panes at right, both under rubbed brick flat arches. Corner to left with single 12-pane and 6-pane sash first and second floors. The return elevation to Bull Plain has two 16-pane sashes, with blank panel below rubbed brick flat arches. Second floor with 2 squat 8-pane sashes. Ground floor has late C20 shopfront across full width of Salisbury Square elevation, with return along Bull Plain, display windows in C20 door openings framing C20 shopfront. Simplified pilasters with console brackets across fascia, display windows divided by slender mullions, with arcaded heads to main run, panelled timber stallrisers, and C20 twin leaf half-glazed doors. The two mid/late C19 shopfronts and half-glazed door noted in 1983 are no longer extant. INTERIOR: remodelled 1983-4, staircase, rear windows, first floor plaster ceiling noted in July 1983 are no longer extant, and the front shop space is now 2 storeys high. The open timber truss and structure noted in 1983 is now exposed and has been partly reset. The lower ground floor, 3 steps down from main level, occupies the former No.2 Bull Plain in situ and reinforced by C20 propped beams, with a longitudinal section chamfered with a tongue stop. The partition at first-floor level has reset studwork and late C20 bracing, with C17 primary bracing along the return wall to Bull Plain. At secondfloor level the C17 rafters and purlin support noted in 1983 are still extant, with some gable studwork in the partition between the former No.2 Bull Plain and No.1 Salisbury Square. In the party wall to No.4 Bull Plain (not included) pegged studwork, rafters and a collar are exposed. the remainder of the second floor is completely of late C20 date. This building has been comprehensively reconstructed since the

list description was revised in 1983, and remains of special interest because of its C17 timber framing, albeit much modified and reset, and its position with other buildings on the street frontage. No.2 Bull Lane was first listed 18/07/83.
