216, 218 AND 220, MARY VALE ROAD B30

Nos 216, 218, and 220 on Mary Vale Road are a group of buildings dated 1898, designed by W Alexander Harvey, and have been altered over time. The structure is made of brick with minimal stone dressings on the ground floor, while the upper storeys feature timber-framing and roughcast infill, topped with a tile roof. The buildings rise three storeys and consist of three gabled bays.

On the ground floor, there are two original shop fronts, although No 220 has been completely altered. The first floor showcases three canted bay windows with side lights, adorned with a dentilled cornice supported by corbels featuring grotesques carved by Benjamin Creswick. The second floor includes a central canted bay window, beneath which is a panel depicting soldiers in relief, flanking a copper cartouche, along with two 4-light casement windows; the window on the right is the only one on the facade that has lost some of its leaded lights. The entrance to No 216 is located on the right-hand return.
