Pitched artificial slate roof with smooth rendered chimney on left party wall; half-round metal rainwater goods. Walls are cream-painted lined render, with a painted base course.

Historical Information

A building is noted here in the First Valuation book (c.1840). It is described as measuring 23’ x 32’6” x 28’ – as none of the plan dimensions correspond with the present building’s 30ft façade, this is probably not the same building. The 1863 Valuation describes the building as 27’ x 33’ x 3 storeys; this has a closer correspondence with the present structure, and it is therefore likely that it was rebuilt in the mid-19th century. Primary Sources: 1. Valuation revision book PRONI VAL 1B/ 246A, p.39 (1839) 2. Valuation revision bookPRONI VAL 1B/246B, p.16 (c.1840) 3. Valuation revision bookPRONI VAL 2B/2/39C, p.131 (1863)
