History
The colonnaded island row to which this building belongs is shown in John Speed's 1610 map of Denbigh and represents post-medieval encroachment onto the market place. Originally timber-framed, the row retains its original covered lower stage, although the columns are mostly replacements of the C18 and C19. This feature is known locally as the Piazza, or 'Y Bylciau' and implies a conscious urbanity and unity of intention which reflects Denbigh's growing significance and self-assurance during the Tudor period. A watercolour by Sir Richard Colt Hoare of 1815 shows the colonnade returning as a single-storey pentise in to Crown Square, though this arrangement was swept away shortly afterwards. This building gained its present appearance in the second-quarter or mid C19, when the upper section was rebuilt in brick and a canted oriel was inserted.
Exterior
Two-storey, single-bay building of painted brick jettied-out over a covered pavement walk on two supporting Tuscan columns; slated roof behind a plain stuccoed parapet. Modern glazed shop windows to the ground floor. The upper floor has a canted wooden bay which projects outwards in the form of an oriel. This has a shallow leaded roof with fringed cornice and plain Victorian sashes.
Interior
Reason for designation
Included for its special interest as one of a colonnaded row of buildings retaining good external character and forming a significant element in the sub-medieval morphology and aspirations of the town.
Group value with other listed items in High Street.
