Concrete with a distinctive motif of windows set between projecting ribs and below arched sections. Rather Seifertian, but I have not unearthed the identity of the architect. The ground floor had been snaffled by anodyne pub chain, Slug and Lettuce, and the offices above were occupied by, amongst others, the Citizens Advice Bureau. David Hughes tells me that the building was once home to Watson Prickard, "a large high class retailer for ladies'/gentlemen's and children's clothing". Penny Mayes has found a website on which Tim Topping states the architect was his father, John.
