Six terraced houses, one with corner shop called 'Lloyd's Dairy, on east side of slope of hill approaching Claremont Square from the south. 1828-1829. By William Chadwell Mylne, Surveyor for the New River Estate. Yellow stock brick set in Flemish bond with stucco ground-floor to no. 40, wooden shopfront and stucco ground-floor to no. 42 and stucco dressings; Welsh slate mansard roof to no. 42, other roofs obscured, party-wall brick stacks. Side-hall entrance plan except no. 42 which has a shop. Three storeys with basement; 2 windows each plus 1 window to left-hand return wall in River Street. Round-arched entrance (no. 42 with impressive side entrance to return wall in River Street flanked by attached Doric columns carrying entablature and blocking course): fluted 1/4 column jambs carrying corniced-head, fanlight (nos. 32, 36, 38, 42 patterned) and all with C20 door. 6/6 sashes with curved and radial glazing bars and most with margin lights to ground-floors except no. 42. No. 42: mid to late C19 double shopfront articulated by console bracketed pilasters to either end supporting curved fascia (with painted glass in gold script, lettering inscribed 'Dairy Farmer LLOYD & SON High Class Dairy Produce') and moulded cornice; prostyle Doric portico to corner entrance carrying projecting curved corner fascia; pair of original panelled shop-doors in corner recess surmounted by wooden rectangular overpanel; entrance flanked by 3-light shop windows with elliptical-shaped tops and panels beneath. Gauged-brick flat arches with 6/6 sashes to upper floors; 1st floor stucco sill band beneath full-length sashes set in arched brick recesses linked by stucco impost banding with individual cast-iron balconies most with Vitruvian scroll and anthemion pattern to railings. Some rebuilding to upper floors; stucco panels over 2nd floor sashes to no. 42. Plain brick parapet with brick string course and stone coping. Attached cast-iron railings with ball and disc finials. INTERIOR: Lloyd's Dairy (no. 42): ground-floor with very fine early C20 grained and panelled oak counters with marble tops; some refrigerated 'made to measure' counters used to keep churns; 1950s Frigideric freezer; period shelves to walls. Lloyd's Dairy, contrary to local legend, began here in 1914; prior to that it had been an auctioneer's since at least 1861. The dairy included a shop from 1921. It is probably not one of the original Welsh dairies, but is still run by the Lloyd family and 'one of the finest existing dairies...' (Historians File, English Heritage, London Division: 1990-: 42 AMWELL STREET; Daily Telegraph: 'We'll Keep a Welcome in the Dairies': London: 1972-: 22 NOVEMBER).
