Cadw's description
Location
On the corner of Penrhyn Road and Princes Drive.
History
Built c1930 (certainly before 1937), as a row of shops with accommodation over.
Reason for designation
Ambitiously composed on a prominent corner site, the development represents a well detailed example of the commercial architecture of its period, intergrating the Art Deco elements of the shop fronts within a loose Neo-georgian design; it survives almost intact.
