9 Finkle Street
This is a two storey building with additional attic space. It is a 17th century building constructed of cut limestone ashlar, brick and rubble with mortar bonding. The front elevation comprises a modern café frontage with large painted windows and three single entrances including an alley entrance. The first floor has four vertical sash windows with vertical brick lintels. The attic space has three port-hole windows surrounded by decorative brick within a rubble faced wall. Above this is a decorative brick eave.
Each storey is divided by bands of decorative brick. The rear of the 17th century building is built of rubble and mortar with area of brick, including a brick arch above the alley way entrance. The full extent of the ground floor is not visible due to a 19th century extension containing one blocked window that was formally hinged. The first floor has one single hinged window. Within a dormer in the attic space there is double hinged window. The timber supports for the ceiling of the first floor are visibly protruding out of the exterior wall. The west elevation appears to be built in two phases separate to that of the main building. It is built of brick and mortar in English Garden Wall. There are two single entrances to the ground floor and four windows, two of which a horizontal sash and one is now boarded up.
To the first floor there are five windows, two of which are horizontal sash, and two are very small and are of differing levels. There are three double hinged windows within dormers in the attic space. The original function of the extension is likely that of a warehouse as there is extensive evidence of former service entrances and windows within the brickwork. The rear of the later extension consists of brick and mortar with a pink painted render. There is an external staircase leading to a first floor single entrance. There is a single hinged window within the attic space.
The face of the external wall one butted a warehouse to the rear that has since been demolished leavings a chimney scar on the exterior wall. The roof is gable topped with pan-tile. Piping is metal. Within the yard of this plot there was once a number of buildings that served both commercial and domestic functions, the foundations of which are still visible.
