House in row, with shop. c1840 front on C16 main fabric. Stuccoed, tile roof, brick stacks. This appears to be a simple refacing of the framed building, of which the roof-ridge parallel-plan front range is visible behind the parapet; the fireplace was at the rear, left. There is a lower brick gabled wing to the rear, with a stack. 2 storeys, 2-windowed. Small square 2-light small-pane casements in moulded architraves and plain cill band. The channelled ground floor has a wide C19 pilaster shop front with recessed central door, and to the right is a 6-panel door under a shallow transom-light, in a moulded architrave. A fascia runs the full width above the ground floor. Above the wide-spaced windows is a plain band, then an entablature, plus blocking-course and coped parapet. The door is to a throughway on the right. There is a lofty brick stack to the rear eaves, left. The slight set forward from 121 (qv) has a chamfered and stopped arris. The detailing is similar to that in 120 (qv) and 121, and the frontages appear to have been rebuilt to these at one time. The small windows, however, show that this was no more than a frontage replacement. INTERIOR only partially inspected: on the ground floor, inside the shop front, to right, a broad chamfered and stopped beam, with a section of bressumer beam carried on a slender cast-iron column, and remains of a jetty bracket.
