| Shop, built as a motor car salesroom and workshop. Circa 1905. Rendered (probably sandstone, material not visible); diminishing slate roof with red crested ridge tiles. 2 storeys. Plan: shop (with offices over) with vehicular access and workshop to rear partly included in lower rear wing. Front, 4 window range the right-hand window bay curved towards street corner. Intact shop front with dentilled fascia, pedimented pilasters each with decorative plaster motif (fruit suspended from a shell); plate glass windows each with 3 upper lights, and deeply recessed half-glazed door. 1st floor windows under pediments on con- sole brackets, horned sashes in reveals with glazing bars to upper sash only. Plaster festoons between the pediments; right-hand sash curved to accommodate corner. Moulded gutter box with egg and dart. Rear wing with one 3-light window under cornice on console brackets. Interior: evidence of rear vehicular access and workshop. A good early-C20 shop front in an important position on the east approach to the town. An important survival of the early motor-car trade, purpose built but using traditional motifs. In 1910 (Kelly's Directory) it was occupied by H S Jacques, motor-car retailer, one of the few operating in Cumberland at this date. | ||
