Appraisal
Substantial mid nineteenth-century building, although having alterations, remains intact in terms of scale and massing. Retaining significance for its important and prominent site on the river, and including other features such as the early twentieth-century cast-iron wall-mounted post box with raised G.R. insignia, set into its façade.
