some contemporary and some C20 ground-floor shop frontages, large 1st-floor
casements with moulded surrounds and small cornices, and paired 2nd-floor windows.
The deep frieze between 1st and 2nd floors has, in the 4 bay right section, in
large raised letters "BARNSLEY BRITISH CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY". Surmounting this
stone part is a cornice and tall parapet behind which is a square ventilator/clock
tower with pedimented sides and swept top with ball finial.
