A Grade II listed building. Edward Pugin built a terrace of houses here and then converted them into a hotel with lavish fittings, Turkish baths, etc. Unfortunately this bankrupted him in 1872. The building suffered severe bomb damage in World War II and some post-war demolition followed. The building has been restored, the west end has been rebuilt and flats have been constructed therein. As can be seen, there is more work in progress.
