Appraisal
This building forms part of an interesting group of turn of the century buildings, including the adjoining public house to the east and the artisan houses of Reginald Square to the north, which makes a positive contribution to the historic streetscape. It was likely purpose built to house commercial units on the ground floor with residential accommodation overhead accessed via the centrally placed entrance door. Though modified, the shopfronts retain a number of original features including pairs of well-executed timber console brackets.
