Appraisal
This pleasing building has maintained much of its historic character through the retention of historic features including timber sash windows and a sympathetically designed shopfront that complements the character of the building. Of a slightly larger size than its surrounding buildings, it makes a strong and positive contribution to the historic character of Bridge Street.
