bar. Gables have saddle-back copings. Facade to St Mary's Street has 3 gables,

coping: this also carries a lofty stone stack, with capping, set diagonally.
The middle gable has a stack raised in concrete block to a moulded capping.

stone mullioned casement to hood, and a small access hatch, right. Mid unit has
