1. 19 Vale Street, was formerly the house of Thomas Gee, the Welsh Nonconformist preacher, printer and publisher. It is a three-storey town house of brick construction with sandstone quoins and dressings which are now painted white. It has a hipped slate roof with lead flashings and a moulded eaves course. The frontage elevation was originally of a symmetrical appearance with a central door flanked by bay windows at ground level, with bays over at first floor together with a central window and three windows at second floor. The symmetry was disturbed about a hundred years ago by the removal of the uphill bay and it's replacement with a flat shopfront returning along the Chapel Street elevation. The shop entrance door was located across the corner. At the same time presumably, the centrally located pedestrian steps were removed with the conseguent reconfiguration of the pavement boundary wall and cast iron railings.
