This fine building and the excellent Derry's Clock Tower (qv) are the only buildings in their immediate vicinity to survive the Blitz and the post-war redevelopment. The setting of this building in its post-war environment seems to enhance its own richness and quality. (The Buildings of England: Pevsner N: Devon: London: 1989-: 667).
