History
Circa 1840; at the time of the building of the Market House, Lord Tredegar gave £200 towards the widening of Castle Street. At time of listing in 1976, the buildings bore the numbers 2,3, and 4 which probably referred to a block or terrace whose name had been lost, since there are other buildings with the same numbers opposite.  

Exterior
No 23 with hornless sash windows; two square 6-pane sashes on second floor, and two 12-pane sashes on first floor. On ground floor, plate glass former shop window to R; to L, flat-arched doorway with architrave panelled reveals; half-glazed panelled door and rectangular fanlight with rectilinear tracery.  

Interior
 

Reason for designation
A group of earlier C19 houses retaining their character with Group Value with adjacent buildings in Castle Street.  

Group Description
Nos 23 & 23a Castle Street Three-storey six window stucco front with higher eaves level than in adjacent No 22 Castle Street. Bands at eaves and second and first floor levels. Pilaster strips to ends.
