Manufactory. 1879, with late C20 alterations. By Foulkes and Ryland, architects for D.L. Davies and Sons, manufacturing jewellers. Red brick with painted stone dressings, prominent ribbed brick gable and ridge chimneys and a plain tile roof.
PLAN: Former L-plan with rear workshop range now removed.
EXTERIOR: 4 -bay street frontage range of 2 storeys and attics, the 3 bays to the left in a symmetrical double-fronted domestic style with central doorway and flanking advanced full-height bay windows extending to attic level as tall hipped dormers. Chamfered and painted stone band to plinth and quoined, moulded surround to semi-circular arch-headed doorway with plain overlight. Keystone, integral to hood mould also linked to stepped string course which extends to flanking bays. These have tripartite sash windows each with a diminutive pediment to the middle of the lintel, the string course extending as a hood mould above. Flat-headed first floor windows above which the bays narrow to form dormers each with a plain sash frame. Right-hand end bay, now with vehicle access to rear yard , with stepped string course above sign panel and a pair of first floor sashes. Moulded string course above first floor windows. Set on this, in each bay, an octagonal panel with leaf motif. Moulded brick corbels support a stone eaves band.
HISTORY: The building was, at first, partially domestic in function, incorporating bed rooms and a nursery. Workshops added at the rear by 1887 were supplemented by additional shopping which covered the entire rear garden. All of the shopping has now been demolished.
Forms a group with No. 48 Frederick Street ( q.v.) and No. 22 Frederick Street (q.v.)
A small manufactory of 1879, unusually designed to incorporate both industrial and domestic facilities, sited in a former residential area transformed during the second half of the C19 into an industrial quarter now recognised as being of international significance.
