Description

Former stables and bonded vaults, now converted to shops, offices, and a cellar bar. Constructed circa 1903-4, with later 20th-century alterations, the building was designed by James Farley. It is built of bronze brick with terracotta dressings and ornament, and has a clay tiled roof with 20th-century rooflights. Originally built as stabling for the former Green Dragon Hotel at numbers 31 and 33 Maidenhead Street, it shares a similar stylistic character with that hotel.

The exterior is two storeys and features a large, blank facade with a Dutch gable facing the street. A tall parapet is present, with terracotta pilasters, finials and copings. The ground floor has a brick plinth, blank arches, a terracotta band, and a large terracotta panel with raised lettering reading 'McMullen & Sons Ltd, Wine and Spirit Merchants. Proprietors of Bonded Vaults. Offices Mill Bridge'. To the right is a recessed doorway with 20th-century glazed doors and a raised surround containing a recessed panel and inscription 'Entrance to Vaults'. A moulded cornice sits at the first floor level, above which is a full-width terracotta panel within a raised frame with a ramped top and the inscription 'Green Dragon Hotel. Catering for large and small parties. Accommodation for Motorists and Cyclists. Good stabling and Motor Pit'.

The long north facade, constructed of orange brick, has a utilitarian character and faces the former Green Dragon yard. The ground floor was converted to shops in 1974, with a single-storey return added along the eastern side of the yard. The first-floor stable loft has five wooden sash windows with glazing bars, recessed within brick reveals.

The interior was altered during conversion and has not been inspected. The building forms part of a significant street frontage group.
