Appraisal
Distinctive late Georgian building on a prominent corner site, which has been partially demolished. The ground floor is still in use in its historic function as a drapers, and retains many elements of the original shopfront which greatly reinforces its significance. The preservation of this building, even in its reduced state is highly desirable.
