This imposing late Victorian commercial building was built in 1896 – an outstanding façade displaying the architectural device known as blocking which frames the tripartite windows on the upper floors. The first floor fenestration is particularly interesting, composed of asymmetrical designs – conventional single and paired windows to No.48, a central recessed bay to No.50 and triangular oriels framing the central pair of windows to No. 52. The dormers have the same blocking treatment, the central one to No.50 topped by a broken segmental pediment. This trio are so distinctive and high quality that they could be worthy of statutory listing.
