Description
This is an early 19th-century building of two storeys and two windows. It is constructed of red brick with a decorative pattern of blue headers. The roof is low-pitched and covered in slate. The first-floor windows are sash windows with glazing bars, each set within a gauged, flat brick arch. A round, gauged brick arch features above the front door. There is a contemporary shop window with a dentil cornice and glazing bars on the ground floor to the right, and a contemporary carriage entrance with double doors on the left. A memorial tablet from 1914-1918 is set into the wall, commemorating local people who died in the war; it is part of a series of plaques in St Albans that record the fallen of individual streets and localities.
