GV II

Two terrace houses, now a large retail unit. c1760.
MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar, slate roof.
PLAN: Broad frontage double depth property with mansard roof, all detailed as typical John Wood domestic terraces.
EXTERIOR: Three storeys, attic and basement, five windows, all twelve pane sash, including three small dormers. Main floors have moulded architraves, with cornice hoods to first floor, plus triangular pediments to bays two and four. Full width 1932 shopfront (by Whinney, Son and Austen Hall) sensitively scaled and designed, with central door. Modillion cornice, blocking course and parapet, slightly higher than No.17 (qv) to left, but continuous with No.20 (qv) to right. Coped party divisions with deep rubble and ashlar stacks. Rear elevation not seen.
INTERIOR: Ground and first floors have been comprehensively remodelled and no Georgian features remain. However, the Deco style staircase of banded polished limestone in the south west corner is a noteworthy survival of interwar retail sophistication, and probably dates also from the 1932 refurbishment by this London firm of architects.
