Appraisal
A distinctive building set within the centre of town which retains much of its original form and character. The timber sliding sash windows and shopfront are worthy of particular note. This shopfront design is typical of the latter part of the nineteenth century, when 4x2 foot panes of glass were introduced, allowing for vertical plate glass windows with mullions.
