| Title | Nos. 53-67 Church Street |
| Description | Row of shops with upper floor maisonettes, dated c.1890. Built of coursed sandstone with ashlar dressings and a blue slate roof. Located at the junction of Church Street/Bridge Street the buildings follow the curved alignment of the street. Most retain part of their original shop fronts with timber cased surrounds and cornice. The upper floors have pedimented window cases and are each different in detail. Modillioned cornice to stone gutter. This row of shops has strong group value with Hattersley Crescent only a few doors further up the street (PRN 9947). (WYAS, 1993)
