What is recorded here

Attached three-bay four-storey commercial building, built c. 1935 as part of cohesive block of five similarly detailed buildings, having square-headed double-height recessed bays to middle floors, and shopfront to ground floor. Full-height flat-roof return to rear (east). Pitched roof to west, abutted by flat roof of return and concealed by brick parapet with square recessed panels, moulded brick and lead-lined cornice over, outer ends topped with carved sandstone urn finials. Parapet gutters with recessed cast-iron box-downpipes (replacement) to outer ends. Machine-made red brick walling, laid in Flemish bond, with projecting horizontally channelled brick piers to outer ends, rising to moulded brick stringcourses over middle floor window openings (continuing across neighbouring buildings). Square-headed window openings, with brick voussoirs, brick sills to top two floors and masonry to first floor, with original one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows with ogee and profiled horns, and having largely replacement glass. Traditional-style recent timber shopfront to ground floor, surmounted by original moulded masonry cornice (continuing across neighbouring buildings). Square-headed door opening to south bay serves upper floors and has recessed timber panelled door with rolled glass overlight.
