Nos. 8-10 comprise a row of three three storey buildings. No. 8 has a single bay facade and Nos. 9-10 share a unified three bay facade with blind central openings. All are roughcast with slate roofs. Originally all had railed steps down to basements, brick vaulted at least in No. 9. They now have protruding mid twentieth century shopfronts. On the OS 1:500 Town Plan of 1888 these buildings fill their plots, the rear parts of these now being open.
