All these windows have keystones. 2-bay rear wing has a single brick gable stack. 2-bay flat roofed addition to west is not of special architectural interest.

{3} Co-operative Store, 2 Wales Street. The former Co-operative store is a grade two listed structure, but is currently standing derelict and in a vulnerable condition. The shop frontage remains, but the building has clearly been subject to a change of use a number of times and the Co-operative store itself clearly utilised as an earlier structure.
