GV II
Warehouse, now offices. Probably built in 1886 for John Lawson
and Co., brassfounders, who also occupied no 80. Red brick set
in Flemish bond, stone, roof obscured by parapet. Five
storeys, one-window range. Ground floor has stone piers with
faintly Gothic detailing forming a broad opening to left,
originally segmental-arched and now flat-arched and filled
with late C20 glazing in imitation of the piers, and a narrow
segmental-arched passage entrance to right. The first, second
and third floors have a single, pointed-arched opening now
filled with glazing and wooden panelling fronting the
different floors, presumably echoing the original timber
warehouse windows. Iron loading crane to left of the window
head. The fourth floor has a central round-arched window
flanked by two smaller flat-arched windows; coped gable with
urn finials.
