with pilasters between and at either side supporting an

3 vertical panels, the centre panel interrupted by a circular
panel in which is set a brass handle consisting of a hand
clenching a bar. Windows in 3 centre bays are of
mullioned-and-transomed lights, the mullions in the form of
fluted and twisted iron columns. The frieze above has raised
panels, 2 of them circular and decorated with a flower.
Upper-storey windows are segmental-headed with moulded brick

The 2 end bays are flanked by pilasters, and there is a raised

The building was erected for the Barnstaple Bridge Trust and
appears to have been designed as offices, making it an early
example of provincial office architecture. Included for group
