Domestic  

 

Terraced house now commercial premises with flats over. Probably earlier C19 altered in late C19, and apparently of one build with No 5. Recorded in 1851 as occupied by Catherine Butler, spinster, but possibly rebuilt in 1854 as reference is made to the collapse of a wall at a house being built by the builder J M Henton next door to Mr Walkington's, which has been identified as No 7. A lodging house in 1881, occupied by Miss Annie Davies in 1911. Shop was occupied for over a century from at least 1876 by 'Stephen Davies, tailor and outfitter', also at no 9 in 1876. Old photograph of c1912 shows small-paned windows to the oriel and essentially same shop front.  

Terraced house with ground floor shop. Unpainted rendered street elevation of 4 storeys with slightly projected parapet and slate gabled roof with red brick chimney to right. Two horned plate glass sash windows to third floor, a single central 2-storey canted oriel window on main floors. C20 cornice and glazing to oriel at second floor, moulded cornice and sash windows with small-paned upper sashes to first floor. Formerly the windows were 8-12-8-pane sashes. Ground floor shop front with house door to left. Six-panel door and overlight. C20 shop with recessed centre entry. Three stucco pilasters framing door and shop, plain fascia with cornice continued around base of oriel.
