History
Probably C17 in origins, and timber framed: said to retain tie-beam trusses with collars, and some wattle and daub panels. Remodelled in the C19, then facade detail all renewed in the later C20. Formerly 2 cottages, now with shops to ground floor and a flat above. No 39 is said to occupy the site of a trhough way which led to the rear of No 37 when it was an inn. No 41 is part of the same build as the adjoining 43-45; No 43 is the flat above.
Exterior
39, 41 & 43A form a group.
Three-window 2-storey range, the L-hand unit of a different build and with lower eaves. Rendered to ground floor, roughcast to 1st floor, slate roofs, the stacks missing. Upper storey has small-pane top-hung wooden windows. Ground floor has central entrance with late C20 part-glazed wooden door, leading to flat above (43A). Inside entrance to No 43A is the original end wall of the house, of small-scantling timber-framing on a stone plinth. Rear said to be built into a steep bank with a flat-roofed addition.
39 has a shop-front with C20 half-glazed panelled door to L and a plain-glazed window to R.
Interior
No features of historic interest seen inside.
Reason for designation
Listed, notwithstanding late C20 alteration to front, for retention of C17 timber-framing. Group value with surrounding listed buildings in Clwyd Street.
