| Notes | Includes: Nos.1-5 QUEENS PARK ROAD. Row of 7 shops with accommodation over and to the rear. c1890-1900. MATERIALS: Flemish bond red brick with Ham Hill dressings, pink polished granite columns; mansard roof covered with terracotta pantiles; stacks with brick shafts with Ham Hill cornices. PLAN: On the ground floor facing Torbay Road 10 units, now 7 shops, those to the right double fronted. The accommodation above is reached from the rear in Queens Park Road with service yards on the ground floor and steps up to first floor entrances. EXTERIOR: Free Baroque style. 3 storeys and attic 10 bays, divided into pairs. Richly-detailed. Deep eaves on moulded terracotta brackets; decorated terracotta eaves band; clasping left and right pilasters; cornice at first floor level. The ground floor bays are divided by paired composite granite columns. 4 left-hand shops have late C20 plate glass shopfronts. The double-fronted shop in the centre has an earlier shopfront with an overlight glazed as a triple fanlight with spoke glazing bars - this may be the original arrangement - and its neighbour to the right has diagonal glazing bars above the overlight. Secondary deep glazed canopy over shopfronts carried on cast-iron columns. 2-tier canted bay windows above have dentil friezes below the cornices, the upper tier with a shaped parapet. First-floor bay windows glazed with fixed-pane outer lights with high transoms with Art Nouveau stained glass intact throughout above the transom. Centre lights sashes with a segmental bottom rail to the upper light. Upper lights mostly glazed with 15 panes but 3rd and 4th bays from the left with Art Nouveau glass. Between the canted bays, cast-iron balustrades and bullseye windows with brick voussoirs and moulded stone frames. 2nd-floor bay windows glazed with 15 over one-pane sashes with terracotta panels between them. Tall gabled attic dormers with Baroque brackets and left and right pilasters with finials. Round-headed windows with keyblocks, glazed with 2-pane sashes. The rear elevation is equally elaborate, the service yards bounded by stone-coped stepped brick walls with balustraded parapets. 5 projecting wings with 2-tier cast-iron balconies on columns with decorated spandrels, original windows. INTERIOR: Not inspected but likely to retain features of interest. Lavishly decorated and well-preserved row of shops. The rear elevations, overlooking the bowling green, are also very attractive and intact. HISTORY: A photograph reproduced in Tully's book shows the shops without the canopy. (Tully P: Peter Tully's Pictures of Paignton: 1988-: 38). Listing NGR: SX8902660640 | Facts about Notes |
