This is a typical watchmakers house of this period - late 19thC. At the rear there is a "top shop" with large windows to enable the watch makers to carry out their trade. This maker Bahne Bonniksen originally from Denmark was of particular note for inventing a new and novel winding mechanism "the Karussel" A close up the plaque can be seen here Image
