Description
Turn of the century two storey building with attic. Red brick with mock timber framing to gablet, and decorative ridge tiles. Formerly used as a bakery shop, the bakery itself survives to the rear (48a). It is understood original features survive, including the bakehouse chimney and wooden beams. The courtyard is laid in brick pavers. To the streetfront, the ground floor contains an early 20th century shopfront, which forms the easternmost of a series of former shopfronts (evidenced by the matching corbels to the original fascias). It is the only original shopfront to survive. Cast iron window frames with decorative spandrels and curved glass. Paired segmental headed windows and a canted bay above. Casement window within the gablet. Chimneys to the party walls.
