54 and 56 Toll Gavel
54 and 56 Toll Gavel is a historic building in Beverley, a town in the East Riding of Yorkshire, in England.
Nikolaus Pevsner describes Toll Gavel as "the most altered of Beverley's old streets".[1] 54 and 56 is one of the oldest buildings on the street, dating from the late 17th century, with later alterations, including conversion into two shops. The building was grade II* listed in 1969.[2]
The building is constructed of lined and painted stucco, with rusticated quoins, moulded wooden eaves, and a tile roof. There are two storeys and attics, and three bays. On the ground floor are two shopfronts with pilasters and a continuous entablature, and to the left is a round-arched passage entry. The upper floor contains sash windows in moulded architraves. At the rear is a single-storey extension, beyond which is a two-storey block in brick with a pantile roof, containing horizontally sliding sash windows.[2]
