Description

No. 58 Boar Lane, which includes Nos. 2 and 4 Albion Street, is a shop, offices, and workshops built around 1875 with alterations made around 1930. It is possibly designed by Thomas Ambler. The building is constructed of ashlar and brick and stands four storeys tall. It has one bay facing Boar Lane, a curved one-bay corner, and one and two bays on the left return (Nos. 2 and 4 Albion Street).

The ground floor and the first-floor sill level feature a late 20th-century facade. The first floor showcases an Art Deco style three-light window set against a tile-faced background. The second and third floors retain their original windows, which include paired round-arched and square sashes within architraves that have moulded bracketed sills, attached columns, and keystones at the first-floor level. The building is topped with a dentilled eaves cornice and a blocking course.

On the left return, the ground and first floors have a central and right bay that mirror the front, with stylised plaques positioned between the first-floor windows. There is an original round-arched entry to the rear yard on the far left, which features remnants of moulded relief bands of leaves and elegant two-leaf gates with bars, wavy pointed dog-bars, a lock rail, and semicircles. The second and third floors have the right bay matching the front, while the rest (Nos. 2 and 4 Albion Street) is more plain, with four-pane sashes (one of which is blind), stone sills, and a pilaster with a carved kneeler on the far left, along with paired gutter brackets.

The interior has not been inspected. Historically, Boar Lane underwent reconstruction starting in 1869, and this site first appeared in the Directory in 1875 as the location of the Wunzer Sewing Machine Company, managed by George Elliot Clifford, who may have lived on the premises. By 1878, the building was occupied by a hosier, a boot and shoe dealer, and an umbrella manufacturer, and by 1888, it was taken over by W Whitelock, a pianoforte dealer. Directory entries indicate that Nos. 58 and 60 were likely completed slightly later than their neighbouring buildings, suggesting that the same architect worked on both infill blocks, with similarities to other buildings on Boar Lane indicating Ambler's influence. The building is included for its group value.
