Description
Little Bow is a pair of shops with attached houses, built in the early 19th century. The structure is made of red brick in Flemish bond, with the western and eastern houses being colorwashed. It features a plain clay tile roof with a shallow pitch between stepped coped gables and brick end chimney stacks. The building stands two storeys high and has a total of three bays.
On the upper level, there are 16-pane sash windows in plain openings with gauged brick flat heads. The ground floor includes an early 20th-century 15-pane shop window with pilasters and a fascia in the first bay, a part-glazed door beneath a radial glazed fanlight in a semi-circular arched opening in the second bay, and a late 20th-century 24-pane shop window in the third bay, with a part-glazed door to the right set into a semi-circular arched opening. The interiors have not been seen.
This building is primarily noted for its group and streetscape value, located at the end of a continuous row of listed buildings.
