Gothic frontage in South Street, originally housing the "country" premises of Adlard & Son, printers of "hospital and asylum contracts, scientific literature, finest illustrations in colours and black and white, and weekly, monthly and quarterly journals". The company was founded in 1766 and had London premises Bartholomew Close, near St Bartholomew's Hospital in the City of London (hence the name here, presumably). The inscription reads "Bartholomew Press and Builders. Offices opposite". The premises now house a firm of accountants and investment managers.
