About the building

The orderly arrangement of windows and the flat brick arches with keystones look as if it was built around 1810. The land probably formed part of St Michael’s Church no 66 Frogmore Street. (Source: L Hurley)

The shop fascia is of black granite, probably form India or Morocco (J Perkins)
