Evaluation
A corner building, 2 bays wide and 3 storeys high on each side with 2 storey adjunct. An interesting early 20th century building for the manner in which it turns the corner and maintains the architectural character of No. 51/57 (See HB05/14/014A). The 2 storey adjunct fronting onto street leading to former railway station makes a pleasing composition.
