Description

No. 2 St George's Road is a terraced house built in the early to mid 19th century and remodeled in 1908 for the Sussex Dairy Company, designed by surveyor M Mellor. The building features pebbledash and purplish brick with dark red brick dressings and a glazed terracotta shopfront.

The exterior consists of three storeys over a basement, stepping down on the return. It has a one-window range with a three-window arrangement on the left return. The corner entry is through an early 20th-century shopfront made of glazed terracotta panels, decorated with floral and fretwork patterns. There is another entry on the return that has a camber arch with an overlight, featuring soft red brick dressings. The return wall is constructed of purplish brick laid in English garden wall bond. To the left of the entrance, there are two camber-arched windows, and to the right, one.

On the first floor of the main elevation, there is a rectangular bay with a lean-to metal roof, and the corners are designed as fluted Tuscan piers. A sill band leads to a double six-over-six sash window on the second floor. The first and second floors of the return display two early 20th-century signs made of artificial stone, each designed as a rectangular panel. The first-floor panel features a cow in low relief, flanked by two elliptical shields with Tudor roses in relief at the center, bearing the legends: "Established 1806" on the left and "Rebuilt 190[?obscured]" on the right. The second-floor panel reads "Sussex Dairy Co. Ltd." The building has a cornice and parapet made of artificial stone, with stacks on the end and party walls. This property faces the Bristol Road Methodist Church and is part of a group with it, situated at the intersection of Bristol and St George's Roads with Montague Place.
