Built for a firm of retail ironmongers. The presence of iron panels below the upper windows indicates the likely presence of a steel frame, an early example of this in the area. The frontage originally had a full row of windows at first floor level separated from the ground floor windows by similar iron panels, but a new frontage of iron and glass was installed in the early 20th century, later replaced with the present uninspired version. It was converted to an amusement arcade in the 1970s.
