Statement of Interest

Part of the 3 to 21 (Odd Nos) John Street B Group. Nos 9 to 21 are one interconnected shop at ground, No 3-7 is a similar original pattern, only the final building to the east is separated by a visible skew. John Street was opened up in 1818, and this terrace on the N side is probably an intact survivor of the original scheme.
