GV II

Warehouse, now shop and public house. Mid C18, altered and extended late C19. Roughly coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings. Slate roofs. Tall chimney stacks above the right-hand and left-hand side walls of the range on the left, which has its gable to the road. This now has 3 storeys, but the roof, which has strongly projecting but asymmetrical verges, has obviously been lowered. The facade is symmetrical with 2 loading slots with projecting corbels on the first and second floors; between the slots is a late C19 steel crane, and to either side on the first floor is a roughly square window with plain jambs, that to the left still has a square mullion. On the ground floor the loading slots are glazed as shop windows, to right a doorway with a plain surround. Beyond this, on the right, is a 2-storey extension, enlarged or remodelled in the late C19 under 2 roofs whose ridges run parallel to the street and terminate in 2 timber-framed projecting gables. Below the larger (left-hand) gable is a canted oriel with a tile-hung apron above a tripartite ground-floor window. In the gable are painted traces of the name 'RICHARD HINDE'. To the right below the smaller gable a tripartite sash above a small plain sash. Beyond is a further extension under a cat-slide roof, which is carried down from the rear of the main warehouse range. INTERIOR: very large barrel-vaulted cellars under the main range. HISTORY: Richard Hinde was a wine and spirit merchant, mentioned in directories of 1851 and 1913.
