"This building was built in 1895-97 by local architect Watson Fothergill for the local Jessops department store. This became part of the John Lewis Partnership, before moving to the new Victoria Centre in the early 1970s. The red facing brick with string course of blue brick and dressed stone, the projecting oriel bays and the Tudor-style gables of Fothergill's distinctive personal style are much in evidence. In fact the building has a steel and concrete frame."
