Grade II listed. Nos 28-37 (consecutive) Snow Hill. No 37 (Williams) is the green fronted one at the end. The blue "Eurobeauty" is at No 32. Built originally as a row of three storey town houses, probably in the 1750s, they were later transformed into shops. By 1996 they were in a dangerous state of dilapidation, only two still being occupied. A complicated and dedicated programme of restoration resulted in the re-opening (by Lord Montagu) in 2000, and immediate re-occupation by businesses.
