'Salvation Army Citadel, now shop (Conticraft DIY). Dated 1891. Bright red brick with terracotta and ashlar dressings, Welsh slate roof. In style of a medieval fortress.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 1:2:7:2:1 windows. Wide central bay has full-width semicircular rubbed brick arch, with architrave, enclosing recessed paired double many-panelled doors with similar arched heads to overlights with radiating glazing bars. Terracotta tiles with low relief patterns fill soffit of large arch, with glazing bars to central roundel, impost string breaks forward and continues around angle pilasters of central gatehouse-like projection. Ashlar band to foot of pilasters and adjacent reveals of large arch; above, a corbel table supports 7 arcaded lights with glazing bars and corbelled round heads, and links gatehouse pilasters which have arched corbels to square top turrets with arrow-slit crosses in parapet. Above arcade a corbelled roof parapet has central painted ashlar panel with date 1891 incised in large well-cut figures. Corner bays have similar giant pilasters and lower corbelled turrets, without arrow slits, enclosing ground floor double panelled doors under keyed segmental arch and first-floor string to large blocked keyed window in panel. Eaves string below parapet with 3 slits under Lombard frieze linking turrets. Intermediate stair sections have high keyed blocked arches on ground floor, paired windows on 2 levels above with flat stone lintels and stone mullions, top corbelled parapet. Returns show similar detail to 2 windows of corner sections, and plainer walls beyond with glazing bars to metal-framed windows. Inserted loading doors.
INTERIOR: shows some stage and gallery structure and some C19 stucco ceiling detail.'
