formerly jettied along the street frontage. Slated roof. At 1st storey are
mid C19 sashes and a long 3-part window, each part having twin segmental-
headed lights. At ground storey is a pair of large-pane shop windows and a
glazed pair of panelled entrance doors, all of c.1980. To left is a 2-bay
hall with part of a service room doorway which has ogee-moulded jambs and
evidence for an arched head. The twin service rooms to right have been united
with a further small room, perhaps originally a shop, at the extreme right.

concealed by the shop front is a moulded bressumer supported on heavy joist-
