Description
This building was erected as a warehouse for Davison & Pickering in 1934. It is now used as a plastics workshop with offices on the first floor. It is built of brick with a corrugated sheet roof over the large rear room. The offices have a flat roof and parapet. Another workshop was added to the south in the 1970s. This is built of stretcher bond brick with corrugated sheet roof. There is a blocked door near the centre of the street frontage and a small flat-roofed store building on the rear wall. This plot was occupied by four terraced houses with outhouses in a narrow yard in 1862 but these were demolished after the First World War.
