Appraisal
This purpose-built house and retail outlet is an interesting reminder of the provisions which were made for living over the shop during the nineteenth century. The materials utilised in the construction of the building, such as the brick, limestone and slate add colour and textural interest to the streetscape. This building forms part of an interesting piece in the urban landscape with the related houses to the south and south-west which were constructed as part of a late nineteenth-century development.
