Appraisal
With its simple lines and symmetrical façade this early twentieth-century shop creates an interesting contrast with its more classically styled neighbours. The wide first-floor windows and the flat canopies of the parapet and shopfront denote a more industrial style that is simply decorated by the panelled apron and the channelled pilasters.
