GV II

House with shop; at one time a newspaper office. Mid C19; probably a refronting of an earlier house set back from street-frontage. Solid rendered front. Slate roof, hipped at the front; there appears to be a flat roof in front of it, presumably belonging to the extension. Red-brick chimney on each side-wall of extension; another on left-hand side-wall of building behind. 2 storeys; 2-window range. Mid/late C19 shop front, much altered. Upper-storey windows have 2-paned sashes. Above them a light moulded cornice and tall parapet. Latter rises in centre to form a rounded pedestal for a figure of a C19 newspaper-boy; on one newspaper is painted WESTERN 1d EXPRESS; according to the 1973 List it then bore the date 1886. Harrod's 'Directory for Devonshire' lists the Bideford Western Express office (Mr Thomas Tedrake, printer and publisher) here in 1878. (Directory for Devonshire: 1878-).
