Extant Building

Description:
Shops with flats above. Built in 1904 on an open plot cleared of its farm. Three storey terrace in strong red brick. Shopfronts, bay windows, fanlights, doors and windows are in good condition and painted in appropriate colours. The shopfronts have polished granite plinths and recessed doorways with mosaic tilework. The bricked up shopfront of No. 60 (the club) spoils the group. The later dormer is also an unfortunate addition. No. 44/46 is the most intact with original windows. Rears are largely intact with various offshots, dormers, tall chimneys and yard walls.
