Appraisal
A long low range of modest, almost vernacular quality enhancing the streetscape value of Mill Street. Fine rendered dressings in the Classical manner contribute to the architectural design value of the composition while the substantial remains of a shopfront displaying high quality craftsmanship further enliven the street presence of the site.
