Three storeys, three first-floor windows. First and second floors have 6/6 sashes in near-flush frames with sills and flat arches of gauged brick. Four-course, second-floor band (Two rows of stretchers between rows of headers). Frieze and ovolo-moulded cornice. Coped parapet. Ground-floor has Doric columns in antis to either end, continuous entablature. Shop front set back has plate glass windows and two canted outer part-glazed doors with continuous overlight.

INTERIOR: not inspected.

HISTORICAL NOTE: during the C18 Foregate Street was known as 'the mall' and Tymbs' Worcester Guide of 1802 notes 'the Foregate Street itself, by being well paved and sufficiently broad to admit a full circulation of air seems to be generally resorted to as a fashionable promenade.'

The Shire Hall, Statue of Queen Victoria, City Museum and Library and Nos 15, 19, 22, 23, 24, 28, Nos 33-46 (consecutive) and No.49, Foregate Street (qqv) form a good group.
