About the Building
Listed Building Grade II No: 2458
Grade II listed on 1 November 1974 see https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/300002458-no25-nevill-street-gwent-abergavenny
The property was being renovated at the time of the original Street Survey in 1979-80. J.G. Thomas bought both nos. 25 & 27 and closed no. 25 as the roof was unsafe. After renovation it was used as Abergavenny Tile Centre (see previous occupiers below)
Building date probably around 1790 – 1800. The chimney stacks are probably original stone, not brick. The waggon entrance has double pilasters showing that it was widened. The upper windows look original, and there may have been a third window between them. A fine staircase to a gracious hall opens onto the mews at the rear.(source: L Hurley & observations)
Behind the building are four cottages, derelict in 1979, but renovated then. This was once the Malt House and perforated tiles over which the corn was dried have been removed, some of which are retained in the Museum.
