This early 20th century shop front has been inserted in the rear of the wing of Benton House (Conservative Club) https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6779337. It has attractive timber detailing and the multi-paned upper part of the windows echoes the Georgian windows on the first floor of the wing. The pediment with the roundel is repeated on the front of the building, which is Grade II Listed.
