Appraisal
The fine render shopfront enlivens the façade of this prominently sited building. The render detailing of the shopfront is similar to mouldings visible on other buildings in the town and may point to a single craftsman working locally. Set on a corner site, opposite the harbour, its delightful render detailing makes an notable artistic contribution to the streetscape.
