Appraisal
Built as one of a pair, this Victorian building is a recognisable landmark in the streetscape due to the pleasant paint advertising to its upper floors. Although partially obscured the early shopfront also survives in situ and adds interest. The building makes an significant contribution to the variety of the streetscape, providing a pleasant example of Victorian architecture in an area largely dominated by Georgian architecture.
