The best of a good run of buildings prominently featuring faience or terracotta. This is the former. A sumptuous display above the ugly shopfronts. By A.N. Bromley, 1906. Built for Boots, which is still here. A pity they haven't been more respectful to such a venerable servant. The curious lack of a listing may be explained by the shopfronts, but it is still curious.
