1–5 Pillory Street, Nantwich, Grade II listed building from 1911 in central Nantwich, England
1-5 Pillory Street is a 1911 building at the corner of Hospital Street and Pillory Street in central Nantwich. Red brick walls rise to a slate roof, while the curved corner features a small concave spirelet that serves as the main entrance.
The building rose in 1911 when Pillory Street underwent widening and displaced Chesters' Stores, a grocer in operation since 1859, and two public houses. It marks the last structure added to the town's protected heritage after the Victorian era.
The building demonstrates French Baroque styling, which sets it apart from the Victorian structures surrounding it. Visitors notice the curved corner and carefully designed windows that enliven the street space.
The building sits at a busy street corner within walking distance of central Nantwich. A luxury furniture store currently occupies the premises, allowing visitors to experience the interior architecture during a visit.
The ground floor displays cream-colored rendering and decorated windows framed by brick keystones, showing the careful craftsmanship of the early 1900s. The double attic above and the curved corner come together as an unusual feature in Nantwich's otherwise more linear townscape.
