This is the front elevation of Image, as seen from the Bullring. Like the rear, it superficially shows unfortunate lack of attention to detail in the conversion to accommodation. But on inspection I have no doubt that the brick addition is not new, and it is tied into the stone fascia with original bonding. The arched brick lintel is probably an early 20th century attempt to mimic the ones to the left of it. The other two windows on that section appear to be contemporary. So the hotch-potch is original, not down to the recent conversion, and may have informed or justified the rather clumsier attempts at the rear. Apart from these details, the whole building has a solid charm, and I would be interested to know for what commercial use it was originally intended.
