Appraisal
This imposing building, while similar to its neighbours, breaks with the surrounding roofline and thus creates a more striking impression on the streetscape. The adjoining carriage-arch, providing access to a yard to the rear, is indicative of its relative importance. The shopfront adds context and the tooled limestone doorway is notable, as is the combined door and window arrangement to the shop.
