Very exuberant entrance to J & J Shaw's former furniture showroom and cabinet warehouse. Oddly, the decorative details depict fruit and flowers (was this for a later owner?). The flowers around the door are Art Nouveau style. No prizes for guessing the date, 1924. Information partly from http://manchesterhistory.net/manchester/tours/tour7/area7page18.html. Now partly occupied by the Font bar.
