Nos 43 & 45 Bridge Street, an early nineteenth-century terraced house of two storeys with attics, is probably typical of much of the building that resulted in this area after the construction of the new bridge and thoroughfare. The house next door, no 4 7 Bridge Street, is a larger, three-storey end terrace house. With its first-floor sill string course and cornicing, architraved windows and its door flanked by windows, with timber and glass vestibule screen with four pilasters, cornice and side light, it is representative of slightly more substantial building works along the new thoroughfare. Other such examples may be seen along the length of Bridge Street, interspersed with modern development and renovations.
