Number 82 is a small two storey property with mainly rendered walls and hipped slate roof. Tall chimney to west side. Shopfront to St James’s Street with bow window and painted mathematical tiles above. Canted bay to side elevation (fronting Wentworth Street). Number 82 was used in the early nineteenth century by a timber dealer then passed through a number of uses including a jeweller, butcher, hairdresser, tailor, bookseller, stationer and newsagents. In the 1940s it joined with 81 and 81A, to form a chemist and optician. Antram & Morrice state that in ‘St James’s Street what interests are the occasional lapses into the vernacular … e.g. … [number 82], very modest, with first-floor bow and mathematical tiles’.
