NHER 63539 (Monument record) - Site of St Nicholas' Chambers, St Nicholas' Street

This building stood on the south side of Chapel Street between the Black Goose and Duke of Connaught public houses. It was built in the late 19th century, sometime before 1883, and probably after 1850 as it is not shown on a sketch of this date reproduced in (S1). This was a large two storey brick building which was almost symmetrical and had five bays. The building had some Classical influences with a segmental headed pediment with a central roundel forming a central rooftop frontispiece, a triangular bracketed pediment above the main doorway and exaggerated keystones in the flat heads above the windows. The name 'St Nicholas' Chambers' suggests a non-domestic function for at least some parts of the building. A string course ran between the ground and first floor level on which 'St Nicholas Chambers' was written in relief.
See (S1) for further information.
It is unclear when this building was demolished but it is still present on a photograph of 1951 reproduced in (S1).
