Appraisal
A substantial corner-sited building whose bowed fronted facade makes an eye-catching contribution to the town's commercial centre. It is one of three corner-sited buildings at this intersection which address the street with curved or chamfered front elevations and form an interesting piece of historic urban design. The oversailing eaves, lined-and-ruled render and tripartite windows add to its traditional charm.
