Redbury

Redbury, located at 29 Broadway in Rainham, is a mid-18th century brick building featuring two tall storeys and dormers. The front facade has three widely spaced sash windows with cambered heads and cased frames. A central door, approached by three stone steps, has six flush panels and a circular cast-iron knocker. The door is framed by a reeded surround with lion's-head angle blocks and a rectangular, unpainted leaded fanlight with radiating glass. Above the door is a deep broad hood with moulded edges and bold shaped brackets. The building has brick eaves and three hip-roofed sash dormers that rise from the wall face. The roof is covered with modern tiles. On the street front, there are two Sun Insurance marks (Nos 241920 and 537610), one Phoenix mark, and one Royal Exchange mark (No 238625). The rear elevation consists of two lower storeys, featuring canted upper storey bay windows.
