History
Circa 1870-80.

Small commercial premises, 2 storeys and attic, 2-window range, in red brick with slate roofs and brick end stacks. Two steep front gables with painted timber bargeboards and triangular headed sash-windows with nogged brick heads, 2 first floor 4-pane sashes with nogged cambered heads and moulded brick cornice under gables.
Ground floor has large circa 1910 shopfront, double-fronted with deep-set door. Big quadrant curved plate glass window each side, band of small-paned top-lights above and slim angle shafts with Art Nouveau branched heads. Door has bevelled glass panels in Art Nouveau style.
