No. 16 has a half-glazed door with a similar surround, but a plain fanlight, and a mid-19th century shop front has been inserted. No. 18 has a mid-to-late 19th century shop front, while No. 20 has lost its original windows and has an altered late-19th century shop front. Wrought iron handrails are present at the doorsteps of Nos 12-16, along with cast iron area railings.
