In the centre at 1st floor level is a figure of a crowned bust, with iron sign bracket above. Ground floor has segmental-arched doorways to outer sides, containing panelled doors. Shop-fronts to inner sides, linked by a continuous moulded cornice. Rear, partly seen, is roughcast to L and brick to R, with shallow gabled rear wing to centre. The upper storey has 2 x 6-pane sashes to gable, and wooden casements to main range; ground floor not seen.
No 16 has windows with raised surrounds and keystones. Shop-front has openings articulated by pilasters with raised round-arched panels, supporting a fascia with dog-tooth band; half-glazed panelled door with plain fanlight to L and 3-light window to R, the lights with arched heads.
No 18 has 4-panel door with plain-glazed overlight to far L. The shop-front, possibly late C20, has detail similar to No 16, with pilasters with raised panels supporting a fascia.
