Further left, C20 windows are small paned with top-hung lights in surrounds similar to doorcase. Between windows, two jowled posts and lintel survive from blocked original door. Partly restored wall plate visible above these openings. To right of centre, C20 six-panel door beneath blocked divided overlight in early C19 doorcase of grooved pilasters with damaged flat hood on brackets. Flanking windows are mid C19 shop windows of four large panes with moulded timber sills, in grooved pilaster frames with plain frieze and moulded cornice on grooved brackets. On first floor, two left bays have oriel windows, the left one with early C19 small-pane sashes, the right one with C20 casements; bays to right have early C19 16-pane sashes.
