Statement of Significance

A two-storied pair of shops and dwelling of 1890 designed by C J Polain in a High Victorian eclectic mode with an ionic pilastrated and banded piano nobile containing an extraordinary prismatic central oriel deriving ultimately from an English design by Sir Charles Barry, together with flanking oriel bows and with an elaboration of pedimental motifs at cornice and parapet level. The painting of the brickwork detracts from the overall effect.
