An opulent example of Victorian Classicism, four giant fluted Ionic pilasters spread across the facade under a heavy cornice and small pediment. Its original function is carved in the frieze, and carved in the panels between the windows is "JUBILEE MEMORIAL BUILDING". Is that why it's three bays? By T.B. Silcock, 1887-88. Grade II listed. Now housing shops, Atmosphere and Detour, the latter specialising in skating accoutrements.
