Appraisal
This attractive building, situated on Wilmer Road, is well presented. The ruled-and-lined render to the walls is heightened by the quoins, plinth and eaves course and the decorative shopfront. The symmetrical shopfront in particular is noteworthy with its highly decorative console brackets, which support the fascia and cornice. This Spar shop, with its decorative features, makes a positive and pleasing addition to Wilmer Street.
