Formerly known as Seel's Building. Victorian architecture could veer into forbidding and uncompromising territory, as seen here. A "rare essay in commercial architecture" by Edward Welby Pugin, 1872. Like his father, Augustus, mostly he designed churches. Perhaps he should have stuck to what he knew. Gothic with a strangely projecting top floor on corbels. The building to the left with a prominent tower was built as Cooper's store (c1920, by Gerald de Courcy Fraser).
