An attractive brick building which stands out from the other buildings in the location. It is a two storey brick building with an attic and stone decoration contrasting with the red brick material. The building is now divided into two shops, 'Magic Box' and 'Salt & Pepper' with Bradley Martin, a hair and beauty salon, on the upper level. It was originally the premises of a carriage works and still bears the sign below the balustrade:‘Carriage Proprietors. T Howe & Co.’. The building is also significant as the original home of the People’s Theatre when it was set up in the early 1900s as the ‘Clarion Dramatic Club’.
