Statement of Interest

Shown in a later 19th century photograph as being connected to the early 19th century building on George Street by a crenellated wall with archway. This was mirrored on the E side to give a symmetrical 'Palladian' arrangement. Shopfront at No 9 restored to original form since 1980.
