The large building at the junction of Raleigh Road and Hamilton Road is out of context with all the typical terrace houses. At its apex is a familiar emblem - that of and eagle and a star - presumably that of the well-known (but now defunct) insurance firm. However, they were founded in 1904 and the date stone shows an earlier one. It's not easy to identify the previous sign. See Image] for a wider look at the offices now converted into residential.
