Group Description
No.s 90 and 92 Vale Street (Partly J H Jones, Butchers)
The complex is of brick construction with slate roof and tiled ridge. Asymmetrical glazed facing brick facade with dentilated eaves and stringcourse beneath a broad limestone sill band to the first floor. The 2 sections, butcher's shop and house, are placed to either side of a large Tudor arch which gives access to the stables and slaughterhouse to the rear via a through-passage. Both sections have half-timbered gabled dormers to the upper floor and the butcher's shop (to the L) has a canted first-floor bay window to the R with similar gable; simply-moulded bargeboards throughout. The bay window sits on the slated roof of the shallow projecting shop front. This has a canted corner to the L and a central panelled door with Tudor-arched wooden head and glazed upper lights; plain-glazed wooden cross-windows. To the far L is a narrower through-passage with Tudor arch and boarded three-quarter door; small window above. Modern door to the house (R of the arch), set into a canted angle.
Whitened rear with gables to both sections, the house section of brick, the shop of rubble (relating to the earlier building). Cambered entrance with boarded door to the gable end of the latter, with C20 glazing to ground and first-floor windows to the R; further modern-glazed window above the arch. The house section has a smaller gabled projection set back slightly to the L with end chimney and plain cambered sash. A Ty Bach block with attendant walls links this to a contemporary single-storey stable block; brick construction (whitened with black dado), with lean-to slate roof. Two cambered stable doors with cambered windows to the R; plain C20 glazing.
