HISTORICAL NOTE: Boar Lane was rebuilt from 1869 onwards and
this site was first listed in the Directory in 1875 as the
premises of the Wunzer Sewing Machine Company, the manager,
George Elliot Clifford, possibly living on the premises. By
1878 a hosier, boot and shoe dealer and umbrella manufacturer
were using the premises and by 1888 they had been taken over
by W Whitelock, pianoforte dealer. The directory entries
suggest that Nos 58 & 60 (qv) were completed slightly later
than their neighbours, the same architect working on both
infill blocks; the similarity with other Boar Lane buildings
suggests Ambler's work.
Included for group value.
