There used to be a big leather industry in Bermondsey - the old leather exchange is next door (Image]) - and so related buildings were afforded quite a high status. This imposing late-Georgian building, built in 1833 of stock brick, has a centrepiece of giant pilasters and a heavy cornice. Grade II listed. It is now small business units.
