GV II

House in row, with shop. c1840 front on C16 main fabric.
Stuccoed, tile roof, brick stacks. This appears to be a simple
refacing of the framed building, of which the roof-ridge
parallel-plan front range is visible behind the parapet; the
fireplace was at the rear, left. There is a lower brick gabled
wing to the rear, with a stack.
2 storeys, 2-windowed. Small square 2-light small-pane
casements in moulded architraves and plain cill band. The
channelled ground floor has a wide C19 pilaster shop front
with recessed central door, and to the right is a 6-panel door
under a shallow transom-light, in a moulded architrave. A
fascia runs the full width above the ground floor. Above the
wide-spaced windows is a plain band, then an entablature, plus
blocking-course and coped parapet. The door is to a throughway
on the right. There is a lofty brick stack to the rear eaves,
left. The slight set forward from 121 (qv) has a chamfered and
stopped arris.
The detailing is similar to that in 120 (qv) and 121, and the
frontages appear to have been rebuilt to these at one time.
The small windows, however, show that this was no more than a
frontage replacement.
INTERIOR only partially inspected: on the ground floor, inside
the shop front, to right, a broad chamfered and stopped beam,
with a section of bressumer beam carried on a slender
cast-iron column, and remains of a jetty bracket.
