By Gibbs & Flockton, c1908. While very original, as Pevsner comments, the building itself is a bit blocky but its faience facade is enlivened by good reliefs, by Alfred and William Tory et al, depicting various local trades (Image]). Note too the balconies, variety of window pediments, and the frieze at the very top. Grade II listed. Now shops and flats.
