A former private residence once known as Stamford House. It was the last house on the western side of the street to be converted into a shop having survived until the end of 1960s. Between 1968 and the present day it has seen a steady stream of businesses come and go starting life as a dry cleaners followed by a discount store before another change to a boutique specialising in punk and new wave fashions called Creature Enterprises. Ironically its replacement, Decades, dealt in fashions from the 1940s to the 1960s towards the later part of the 1980s. More changes occurred in the following decade as the shop became a Ladies hairdresser then another accessories/gift shop before becoming Conberts that combined jewellery with a small tea shop. Since 2007 at least it has been a cafe called Chez Dimitrina.
