What is recorded here

Terraced two-bay three-storey house, built c.1920, now also in use as shop. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls. Square-headed one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows with limestone sills. Shopfront comprises timber framed plate glass windows and leaded stained glass windows over tiled stall riser, flanking recessed splayed entrance with glazed timber door with overlight, all flanked by fluted timber pilasters with timber panelled fascia with raised lettering.
While the size and scale of this building and the subtlety of the diminishing windows provide a positive contribution to the streetscape, its shopfront is perhaps its most notable feature. Narrow timber frames support its symmetrical plate glass windows, while its tiled stall riser and entrance mosaic are subtle details that are rarely copied in pastiche shopfronts.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
