What is recorded here

Terraced two-bay three-storey house, built c.1850, with later alterations and shopfronts. Now in use as shops. Pitched artificial slate roof having rendered chimneystack. Rendered walls with render quoins, plat bands, and eaves course. Square-headed one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows with decorative render surrounds. Paired shopfronts each consist of bakelite façade having chrome framed plate glass windows, and recessed doorways with glazed timber doors having frosted hinged overlight to eastern.
This building has elegant plasterwork detailing to its upper storey, and decorative surrounds to its timber sash windows. Bakelite shopfronts are becoming increasingly rare, often being replaced with pattern book pastiche shopfronts, so the survival of a particularly complete example such as Flynns is fortunate. The minimalism and restraint of these shopfronts is typical of modern movement architecture.
