Appraisal
A rare surviving Dutch Billy house, No.35 was moved and rebuilt during road widening works on Kevin Street. Though much altered, some early features remain including the angled chimneystack, flush sash boxes and curved gable. The attractive shopfront with egg-and-dart cornice and carved scroll ends makes a positive contribution to the streetscape.
