Description

Nos 78 to 81 on Fetter Lane, dated 1902, are designed in a modified Flemish gothic style by Threadwell and Martin. The building features a stone front and stands three storeys tall, plus two additional storeys in a large gable with a slated roof. The ground storey has been altered, now featuring a wide central opening flanked by two narrower openings. The gable is adorned with finials and two crouching figures that support a shell pediment.
