YMCA building with shops below in part. 1898-1901. By AE Sawday in collaboration with Draper and Tudor Walters, Listed Grade II. The Listing describes it as being brick with Ketton stone dressings. In fact the non-brick elements appear to be terracotta, although the surface has been eroded and roughened by the inappropriate use of abrasive materials during cleaning in the latter part of the 20th century.
