Description:
This Victorian section of Percy Street West is more elaborate than many of the Georgian buildings on the rest of the street. Despite the buildings being individual, several similar features are carried throughout the group. The section is mostly three storey red brick, although some sections have attics and some have features decorated with red sandstone. The shop fronts are broken by a grey stone carriage arch beneath a two storey canted oriel window, itself below an ornately shaped gable. This gable feature is repeated in a dormer window in another part of the section. LOCAL LIST
