Grocery shop, now bookshop. 1859, upper floors re-faced 1915,

white faience, roof not visible but probably slate. Deep

continuous arcade of round-headed arches on columns with
carved foliated caps (7 bays to Fishergate, 1 at the corner
between canted piers with shafts, and 6 bays to Glovers
Court), each arch having a 2-centred extrados with mask
keystone, and gold-coloured mosaic spandrels with brackets to
a pierced parapet carried round the whole. The faienced upper
floors have thin canted pilasters, a string-course over each
floor, a deep frieze with swags, an enriched modillioned
cornice, and arcaded windows: those at 1st floor arched like
those below, and those at 2nd floor half the size and twice as
many in each bay. Hipped roof. Continuation to rear, in red
brick, 8 bays, with pilasters, Lombard frieze, moulded
cornice, mostly round-headed winndows (blocked at ground
