Description

ISLINGTON

TQ3182SE CLERKENWELL ROAD 635-1/74/288 (North side) Nos.70 AND 72

II

Workshop or warehouse. c.1875. Yellow brick set in Flemish bond, stone, roof obscured by parapet. Five storeys, two-window range. Ground floor has rendered late C20 shop front. The upper storeys read as two bays between brick piers which run up to the cornice; at first-floor level there are tripartite windows with stone mullions; the middle part has a segmental arch with triangular incisions in its profile; the outer parts have a form of shouldered arch. On the second, third and fourth floors, the windows run the full width between the piers and are divided by two mullions, presumably of stone, to each; there are panels of geometrical ornament below them, and the form of the mullions and panels on the second and third floors, where the windows are flat-arched, seems to make reference to the metalwork of which the building is presumably constructed; fourth-floor windows have cambered arches with triangular incisions; stepped brick cornice.
