Render shopfront comprising pilasters with twin consoles flanking openings and supporting fascia and dentillated cornice. Central square-headed opening with replacement timber glazed door, flanked by fixed timber display windows.
Appraisal
This building provides an aesthetically pleasing focal point for the streetscape. The fine shopfront is a notable feature and contrasts with the replacement pastiche shopfronts found else where in the town.
