Hillgate Pharmacy is located at 50 Higher Hillgate on the corner of Holt Street. It has the look of an old Co-op building but in fact the Co-op pharmacy is two doors away at #54 with a sandwich shop between them.
According to the date plaque the building was erected in 1869.
The arms supporting the lamp beneath have horseshoes attached. Does a pharmacy need luck?
