Building on Islington High Street housing a restaurant, "Fredericks", since the 1970s. The building is recorded in 1804 as a pub house called 'The Gun', although by 1834 it had become "The Duke of Sussex" (Prince Augustus Frederick, re-commemorated in the current name, who is represented in the mural on the corner of the building). A later occupant was "Payton's Music Shop and Practice Rooms". This section of Islington High Street was originally named Pierrepoint Row, after a John Pierrepoint who is recorded to have owned a mansion on the site in 1718. 106 High Street was originally 18 Pierrepoint Row.
