Appraisal
Following recent sympathetic renovations, this former shop has retained much of its historic form and character through the retention of key features including timber sash windows and a historic render shopfront. Decorative render quoins, panels and mesh window guards add further artistic interest to this pleasing building. These particular iron mesh window guards were made by Alexander Clarke of Coolmore Works who were based in Belfast and specialised as a wire worker, grease manufacturer and as a venetian blind maker.
