To the left of the doorway, stacked window openings, now with C20 joinery, set below flat, rubbed brick heads, and with projecting cills. The windows diminish in height as they ascend. Shallow eaves cornice. Below ground floor window cills, a plain band course incorporating the heads of cellar openings with boarded shutters.

HISTORY: No 7 Union Street is shown on Perry's Map of Liverpool (1769), forming part of a fully-developed street frontage now almost wholly replaced by late C19 and early C20 redevelopment. Despite alteration, this building is one of the few buildings of this early period of development to survive in this part of central Liverpool.
