Appraisal

A picturesque addition to the streetscape which adds much its historic character. The canted bay and simple shopfront enliven the facade and mark it out in a primarily residential group. The small scale shopfront is a reminder of the mixed commercial and domestic use of many buildings in the past and of a time of 'living over the shop'. It retains much of traditional fabric.
