Reason for designation

Group Description
11-15 Castle Street The group comprises a reflected pair of 3-storey 1-bay shops with dwellings above (Nos 13 and 15), and a single-window house (No 11) at the L end. No 15 has a scribed render front, while render has been removed to Nos 11 and 13 revealing coursed rubble stone. The block has a renewed slate roof and roughcast stack rebuilt in brick to the L of Nos 13 and 15. No 11 has apparently renewed openings with flat brick heads to, comprising panelled door and overlight on the L side, and 4-pane horned sash windows, shorter in the upper storey. The doorways to Nos 13 and 15 are to the outer sides and each has a roll-moulded stone surround and a panelled door with overlight. The lower and middle storeys have 4-pane tripartite sash windows in segmental-headed architraves. In the upper storey is a 4-pane sash window in a plainer architrave. The rear elevation is random rubble with mainly inserted and replaced windows, but some 2-pane and 4-pane sashes are retained.
