GV II

House, now shop and flat. Late C18 with later additions and alterations including those of mid C20 to ground-floor. Pinkish-brown brick in Flemish bond, whitewashed to front facade, with stone quoins and end brick stacks with oversailing courses and pots. 3 storeys, 4 first-floor windows. Raised quoins from first floor through second floor. Crowning shaped cornice and coped parapet. First floor has 6/6 sashes; second floor has 3/3 sashes, all with flat arches of gauged brick and keystones. Ground floor: glazed shop front and off-centre, glazed, double doors. Entrance at right a 6-panel door with overlight, in beaded surround; continuous cornice over ground floor. INTERIOR: ground floor gutted, otherwise not inspected. HISTORICAL NOTE: during the C18 Foregate Street was known as 'the mall' and Tymbs' Worcester Guide of 1802 notes, 'the Foregate Street itself, by being well paved and sufficiently broad to admit a full circulation of air seems to be generally resorted to as a fashionable promenade.' The Shire Hall, Statue of Queen Victoria, City Museum and Library, and nos 15, 19, 22, 23, 24, 28, Nos 33-46 (cons) and No.49, Foregate Street (qqv) form a significant group.
