HISTORICAL NOTE: Boar Lane was rebuilt from 1869 and this
building was occupied from 1872 by JA Doyle's glass and china
warehouse. The business remained on the premises until after
1888 by which time JA Doyle was described as a cut-glass
manufacturer and china and glass merchant whose home was at
No.26 Blenheim Terrace (not included). The difference in the
style of the building was perhaps intended to distinguish it
from the textile-based businesses using Nos 58 & 60 (qqv). The
directory entries also indicate that the flanking blocks,
(identical and possibly by Thomas Ambler) were completed
shortly afterwards.
